What’s everyone using to feed frozen food?

I’m looking for a clear, smallish squirt bottle with an opening big enough for a cube of frozen food.

I bought these thinking they were exactly what I’m looking for but they leak around the cap when turned upside down and given the slightest squeeze.

I broadcast feed but if you want to squirt the food into tank, best and easiest is a small turkey baster

Hey thanks!

I guess I should have mentioned that a cube of food will last me a day or two.

I’m setting up a 40 breeder and only plan on having a couple clowns.

Right now I’m ghost feeding a little bit but I’m thawing a cube out in a Dixie cup and setting it in the fridge. I’m trying to avoid spilling it….again.

I don’t know where I bought it but I have similar bottles but have graduated measurements printed on the side .
I believe dollar store or Walmart

Turkey Bastet is what I use most often .
Easiest to use

Well I took your advice and went to Walmart and got this bottle. It’s a little bigger than I was wanting but I put some water in it, turned it upside down gave it the squeeze test. It didn’t leak out of the threads and the spout hole looks big enough for the food to squirt out.

It should work fine.
Thanks!
