enough variety??

[Emma9383]

Hi guys, can you please tell me if I'm feeding my babies enough variety? Each Mon I make two new recipes from Tillie's recipe's. I alternate between the two for a week and then make two brand new recipes the following week (with different ingredients, so they get two recipes each week with all the supplements in Marie's daily recipe thing.

Thank you

Sounds to me like there spoilt lol. Must be good for them tho different taste everyweek as i hear alot of people use same week in an week out they must get sick of it. Do you leave a bowl of insectivore or bugs n berries out for them? (me asking cause not sure myself).

[Emma9383]

I haven't yet. I've got the dried food that Marie sells but haven't found a use for it yet. I've got mealworms n berry mix but not used that either yet. I thought 2 recipes a week was ok but now I'm not so sure!

sounds like enough variety to me

I tend to only have a few biscuits left out during the day that's all. The berry and bugs mix I would use as I treat, maybe sprinkle a little over the top or as treats. Insectivore far can be used instead of the cat biscuits but I would maybe give that as a few extras once or twice a week.

Thats cleared that up thanks.

[Emma9383]

thanx mark. Do u think 2 different recipes a week is enough variety then? I make sure the following week's recipes hav different fruit/Veg in, except the papaya of course! Gud job mine like it lol.

Where di you find the recipes ?

[Emma9383]

search 'Marie's guide' can't remember where it's at. Also has yat supplements to giv on wat days it's tillie's recipes u want sure it's at the top of this section

[Doctorbenny]

on tillie's recipes some of them dont have veg dont get why?

[Emma9383]

that's why i give 2 recipes a week

[hday]

depends on gliders lol! Id get bored of 2 meals a week!
so I tend to do a 3-4 batches in freezer and alternate,
means they get at least 3 flavours a week (and each one is frozen for now more than 10 days so still ok)

and their menus include at least one type veg so that they arent just on really sweet stuff
eg strawberry carrot papaya
mango squash, papaya, apple (+/- carrot think that means you have to adjust squash)
um cant remember them all off hand
but yes check around for recipes!
some gliders have favourites, some have phases, and some just plain dont care!
LOL

I would really like to do this for mine ( when i get them ) bt i dont understand the percentages ...

[Emma9383]

That's the great thing bout Tillie's recipes, you don't have to! Just print out the recipes, pick two/three with different ingredients, make them up seperately and dish out a different one each night! viola! easy peasy.
