Making your own food is very easy and not at all expensive.
I have been doing it for ages.
There are many variations on the recipe and i guess you just need to figure out what works for you and your critters.

A few variations:

I use an old blender, since I had one on hand.
I do like cubes so I freeze the mash in a large ziplock bag laid flat on a shelf in the freezer.
Gets me a large thin slab.
then I remove the slab, let it warm for a few minutes to just barely start to soften and chop into cubes with a large knife.
Back into zip lock bag and back into the freezer and the cubes don't stick together.

i don't use gelatin but I do add nori/dried algae to the mash
