Sinclair has a wood cage that crix can climb up the side of.. it's a pain and it's mesh up top. The upshot? I've been feeding both beardies out of mason jars. Takes a bit for the beardie to get the hang of it, but once they do! No more chasing around pesky crickets!

I would just be careful about thinking your home dishwasher Sanitizes or Sterilizes anything?
I have worked in hotels and restaurants for about 10 years and am well versed in dish washer sanitation guidelines. The generally accepted standards and regulations for sanitizing the plates and cookware that we all eat from is a wash cycle of 160 degrees and a rinse of 180 degrees.
This is usually obtained in commercial establishments utilizing a very powerful heat booster. If that is not done a quaternary ammonia or cholorine sanatizer is called for.
You may want temp probe your dish washer to see if it reaches these temps. If not you may want to give your equipment/tiles a quick dip after in a sanitizing solution.
Sorry just my two cents

Of course the roaches cannot clime out of the plastic container giving Spike a plate of goodness. I put some papertowel under the plastic container because it seemed as though he had a bit of trouble seeing the roaches at first with the dark carpet.
We need a jaw drop icon!
That's freakin' genius!
My biggest concern would be reaching at least 145 degrees for a few seconds this is the temperature at which Salmonella is killed.Thor's Mom":885c0 said:I will have to check to see what the temps actually are from my dishwasher.
