[QUOTE="Ranitomeya, post: 263126, member: 6796"] I've found that a food dish is unnecessary. They're usually voracious enough that they'll grab the food as soon as it hits the ground in front of them. They can sense vibrations and should be able to find food in a shallow dish if you decide to feed them that way. Make sure to compress the substrate so that as they dig it won't collapse. They have no problems with excavating through compressed substrate and it'll also prevent the mealworms from burrowing too quickly. Provide them with a deep substrate and they'll be sure to dig down to the bottom and make a decently sized chamber where they spend most of their time. I keep mine unheated and in the winter they block off their tunnel and become relatively inactive, so it's not necessary to keep them heated unless you experience freezing temperatures where they're being kept.
