Another days veg-mix .
Today's mix
2 cups spring mix greens
1/2 cup collared greens
1 cup papaya
1 carrot
1 yellow squash
2 hard boiled eggs
Get a lot of questions about feeding lately across pages .We just use what works for us.
- how do we know how much greens are in the mix?
We cut them , not a shredded premix
- why the same bowl ?
😀 it's the bottom of the chopper, we use.
Ruk chopper/grater.
- I didnt see ?
Pomegranate - was last week's
Main mix is just that , main or base.
Using Pomegranate, as an example, we don't feed that to reptiles its mixed into part later, just the part going to birds.
- Do we feed everything with our chopped food?
Yes and no 🤔
Bigger animals , like our Iguanas still get regular greens and larger cut fruit/vegetables with the chopped mix added. Adding it (our oponion) does 2 things : adds variety less likely to be picked through and moisture from being chopped helps calcium powder stick.
- How often do we prepare chopped food?
Depends what we're feeding usually daily , occasionally every other day , when needed twice a day.
* no we don't make ahead and freeze.
Some do freeze with fine results
- What do we do with "all the scraps"
Really isn't any. Don't have a cool compost idea or anything.
Most larger squash ends become Dubia treats.
Most other peels , rinds , etc.. gets set out for deer food.
