Just got one of these from Chewy.com $2.39 (Same price on Amazon)
Made in China. Also comes in pink and green (pink is more expensive :? )
I'll leave it to the reader to check the links for Description/Details.
IMO, Worth this price (though at least one other site is charging ~$10.52; 20% off regular $13.15) :shock:
The one I got doesn't sit quite level; it's got a slight rock to it (a little annoying on the tile substrate), which startled ZaRDoZ a bit, but he overcame it directly (Hungry, hungry ZaRDoZ got get his num-numz). I'll probably fix it with a dab of glue or something. It is heavy/stable enough that Z (~250g) can't tip it, and I expect won't as he matures.
Holds plenty of salad & num-numz for an adult; dubias (½") can't escape over the rim unless the salad is placed too close and they climb over that (hazard w/ any bowl/dish).
Dishwasher Safe? :dontknow: The only mention I could find was in reviews on Amazon--nothing from mfr., sellers or customer questions. Guess I'll find out. :roll:
The ring base that it sits on is not glazed.
Would I buy it again, or another one? At this price, Yes. At over $10, No.
ADDENDUM 1:
I found a drawback that wasn't apparent earlier (may not apply to everyone).
ZaRDoZ' former plastic bowl had a parabolic interior, which means he could see the entire interior/contents from any point along the rim. This new bowl, due to its flat bottom, relatively straight sides, and lip has blind spots from any point along the rim. The result was, he left an uneaten super worm (unheard of--they're like jello with him--always room for more :roll: ) and several uneaten roaches (not unheard of, but rare).
It's also more difficult to clean than the former bowl, especially under the rim.
ADDENDUM 2:
After using this bowl for several days, I'm actually thinking of scrapping it. It does have some nice features, but because of the drawback I mentioned in ADDENDUM 1, a lot of roaches are going uneaten, hiding in the darker corners/recesses of the bowl (hiding from light/exposure IS how roaches do). But I'm also finding uneaten super worms. I never found any uneaten feeders in the open-top parabolic bowl. Num-num-num-num-num! :x
