Exo Terra Worm Dish
The Exo Terra Worm Dish is a low-profile, substrate-safe feeder designed to sit flush on the enclosure floor and limit contamination from loose bedding — ideal for mealworms and small feeder insects. It earns a best-in-class spot for offering an inexpensive, compact solution that is easier to clean and replace than bulkier rock dishes, though it sacrifices the tipping resistance and natural look of heavier resin options. For keepers prioritizing cost and minimal substrate disturbance, its simple geometry and broad rim make it reliably effective in mixed-substrate setups.

Its molded construction offers superior wear resistance and easy cleaning compared with soft foam or adhesive-mounted ledges, and while it commands a higher price than basic platforms, its resilience and natural look justify the investment for hobbyists wanting durability and realism.
