The Exo Terra Worm Dish allows reptiles to see their food (mealworms), while the specially designed outer ring prevents them from escaping. Vitamin and mineral supplements can be easily added to the dish, and any excess powder can be reused.

The Exo Terra Worm Dish is made in two parts to facilitate cleaning. Mealworms should be contained when placed inside the terrarium, as they tend to "escape" by digging their way into the substrate. This can have unpleasant consequences, such as the decomposition of their bodies, which creates harmful bacteria.

With the Exo Terra Worm Dish, mealworms remain visible to the terrarium inhabitants and do not escape.
