plate,is it ok!?

i find it difficult to feed my axie from hands with worms she seems slow and dont eat from hands so well but alvays asks for food. so i puted small plate with worms for her. is it ok what you think? off course when she munches them they fall out of her mouth around the plate clumsily but she ate everything till last bite and asks even for more, here are pics of plate, so worms wont get lost around the aquarium.

munches them.

AND SHE STILL WANTS TO EAT!!!!!

so is plate good idea? i't easier to remove food later

It looks to me like a super idea...if she is feeding from the plate then I would carry on using this method, after all it looks like its stopping the food from being 'swooshed' every where. My axolotl used to feed from a shallow plate until one started to get greedier than the others..they are now fed in different areas .

Looks fine to me, I've found that a pair of tweezers (great for holding earthworms) works really well if they don't want to take it from your fingers.
Also, a wooden skewer is really good if you're feeding something like freeze dried tubifex worms in the pellet form.

Hi Doki,

Yes that method works just fine. I do that myself, although my feeding bowl has little pictures of chickens on it.. (thats another matter). I find it particularly handy feeding blackworms or bloodworms too. What i do is i use a turkey baster or syringe to suck up the worms and then carefully inject it into the bowl. So now its no longer a messy affair.

Cheers.

i got dificulties to give her frozen food because when it melts in water it just turns into blody cloud of water that confuses her. xD thanks for agreeing with plate. it gets swoshed but only near the plate and it's easy to find it.

ooh that looks a perfect idea since it's a bit scary and gross when worms move in your hands =u= thanx for a good idea : D
