you can try putting different things (not the coir) around the bowl...people here have tried large (too big to swallow) pebbles, pieces of bark, slate, moss...
I really did not like coir for my guys, so I solved this by going to cypress.

I just started using the coco coir, and I don't like it either. I think this weekend I am going to switch to something else. It seems like I am forever pulling it off of My Mr., and I am concerned that he might be eating it.

I agree with Mark so I use cypress mulch or fine grade orchid bark...you can also use sterilized top soil
You could put some flat slate around the dish, or moss. I got some slate and hit it with a hammer to make smaller pieces that would fit around the dish for one of my viv's. Frog moss or terrarium moss is good too. You could mix the coir with soil and them put some plants (right in their little pots) in to substrate, and you could add some crepping jenny for ground cover, flat stones, ....you know make it interesting and after a while the creeping jenny or ground cover takes over and then you won't have a mess any more.
Thanks guys!
