Some new recipe's all worked out for you PART 2

[helen88uk]

Thought i'd try and make some with a few more veggies in…

Colour explanation:
Citrus shouldn’t be fed more than twice a week
Superfoods - what it says lol
Protein - The Iams used are the Iams 1+ cat biscuits (If you are from the US I recommend researching a different high quality cat food as US Iams isn't the same quality as the UK one).
Any recipe's containing Spinach should always contain a little extra calcium suppliment as Spinach is high in Oxalates which inhibit the absorption of calcium.

I am impressed they are great and will help our new members trying to get to grips with the cal: phos ratios and what not

Actually I wont tag them as they will get lost I will sticky them with recipes made up for you part two.

[Rhianna]

Very impressed! im gonna take these down. I like the idea of feeding rosemary and spinach. Il have to see what my lot think. I attacked you with karma also... cos im nice....

[helen88uk]

I haven't tried them yet, praying my guys actually like Rosemary! I didn't realise it was so good for them, and because the usual favourite stuff is normally quite low in calcium it'd be good to use Rosemary and Papaya as it gives you a lot more freedom with whatever else you want x

[Doctorbenny]

Would it work to put the amount in grams of each fruit/veg per 2 gliders and a total so newbies have a good rough idea only a thought. Very gd will be using some of these thank-you

i actually really like this idea aswell. i know when i first started if found it soo confusing working out how much of something everyone needed, especially if you chop fresh fruit and veg every night rather then do a large portion and freeze....

[Mark]

How are you adding the rosemary? Same weight as the other veg and fruits, its a very woody strong flavoured herb

[helen88uk]

Ohhh didn't think of that, I'm guessing it weighs a LOT less than most fruits/veg

With the rest I weigh the lightest ingredient and then use that weight to measure for everything else. Maybe just use half the amount of rosemary (halfing it's value so losing 2.4 from every recipe) and adding something that is roughly 2.4 to take it's place. A fig maybe 

*calls for help* MARIIIIEEEEEEEE

[Doctorbenny]

Yea i was wondering if there was too much of one an not enough of the other. Base it on 2 gliders per week

[helen88uk]

Do you make a batch? I'f so it's just trial and error on how much you make. Depending on what I use, I put all the ingredients into same size amounts and then go from there. Sometimes it makes about 6 days worth, sometimes 10days worth x

and for those who dont make batches?

[Mark]

If you added the same amount of rosemary as other stuff it wouldn't work, and would cost a fortune, I think adding the same if spinach would also be impractical.  I add the odd bit of spinach to a batch, and if anything has to strong a flavour you have to be carful.  My group like parsnip taste but small bits of parsnip will strongly flavour a batch possibly making yr gliders not eat it.

[helen88uk]

same as Tillie suggested   I just thought i'd upgrade her recipe's ... this is sooooo hard! *cries*
