D. tityus feeding troubles

My female D. tityus is driving me crazy. No matter what I give her (brown sugar water, moist cane sugar chunks, banana pieces, peaches, etc) the dish always ends up tipped, flipped, or buried; Solid items get knocked all around and the sugar gets mixed up in the substrate.

Is there an easier way to offer food to these guys? She's driving me crazy.

I give up! She's chewed through the dish I put the sugar water crystals in. She's getting a revamp of furnishings and a strictly soft fruits diet now.

 
You know you put a big wad of paper towel in the dish and then pour the sugar water over it right? Sounds like you might be missing that important part.

I have tried. EVERYTHING.

When I did that she tore it up and put it all on substrate; when I did it with the crystals she flipped the dish. When I tried anchoring the towel with a stone she got in and tore it up right down to the bottom.

She is driving me INSANE. X_X
