Question: Axolotl Food Dishes

[Rosemary45689]

Hi everyone. I adopted an axolotl and named him perwinkle. He is in a 55 gallon tank, and I was curious as to what kind of bowls/plates/container could I use to feed my axie his worms. Lately he has been accidentally eating sand instead of food, and I would like to get him a nice eating spot to reduce sand gobbling. Pictures would be really awesome. Thank you!

Sorry I don't have any pics but what I usually use or have used is shallow reptile bowls. Or you could look for something in your own kitchen. What I would look for is a shallow dish/bowl that is a least a couple of inches long.

Shallow reptile food bowls, a ceramic plant base (the plate part that the pot sits on,) a jar on its side to keep food from getting everywhere. I use the plant plate and my guy occasionally gets a bit of sand, but sand can be passed.

You can also use a saucer or I have seen some people use a glass jar. They put the food or worms in the back end of the jar so that it doesn't float away and then the axie can crawl in and eat.
