depends what kind of roaches you are feeding, many kinds can't climb glass/plastic. I use Dubia and Rusty Reds, neither one of those can climb

With lobsters (which i at one point used) I would feed in a seperate bin. You can put either vasoline or packing tape around the top half to keep the roaches in, that way you don't have to swat them back in as they climb. Just add a couple at a time so that your dragon can get them, they way you won't have to catch any to put them back in their bin.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
