Make your own food?

[Myka]

Can you safely operate a blender? If so, you're in business!

Seriously, the only thing you can really mess up is feeding food that has been thawed for too long, but you can do that with prepared foods too. Look on the label of the seafood and make sure there aren't any seasonings added. That's about it. Oh, and make sure it is raw seafood.

Hehe, oops I'm repeating what kien is saying! Posting at the same time.

Another idea is to save the plastic trays from the cubed prepared foods, and pour the food into those. I fill them up halfway so I can feed a half cube of my homemade food, and a slice a half cube of something else to mix in (usually PE Mysis).

Good stuff, thanks alot. I'm still trying to figure out a way to portion the serving sizes.

did you guys see a big difference when you began making your own food?

In the cost of food ya, but nothing else. I don't see any benefits, but that doesn't mean there aren't any. Who knows?

it just seems to me to be more natural.

... just wondering would fresh seafood run the risk of contaminants?
