a big time saver...for gliders on hpw - 01/14/10 04:34 AM
My gliders are on hpw and will only eat thier fruits and veggies if they are blended in with the hpw to the consistency of baby food...
So i thought what if i just pre-make a few batches and freeze it?
I give them variety by changing that fruit and/or vegetable combos.
Here is what i do:
Measure out two days worth of fruits, vegetables, and hpw for two gliders.
Blend the mix in my food processor until it is the texture they like it, mine prefer it baby-food like texture.
Pour it in a freezer-safe container and freeze.
I have four containers all with numbers (1-4) on them.
Every number has different fruit and vegetables combos in them. All in the same pre-measured porportions.
I used numbers instead of labels because they obviously don't eat the same four fruit and veggie mixes every week.
I write down on a piece of paper what number has what in it.
The next week i give them a different four and keep track of them the same way.
All you got to do is cut out a fourth of the container per glider(for two gliders) per day, and let it unthaw, mine love it and it saves so much time.
This is also great for teens who's parents aren't compltetely glider-knowledgeable, if your ever out and need them to feed your babies they've got it way easy.
I know some people think it's not fair to not give your gliders fruits and veggies in chunks but mine simply refuse to eat them that way.
This works out great for me and hopefully it will help someone else out!
If anyone wants this in more detail feel free to p.m. me!
