Go for it. I see allot of keepers on here are big fans of freezing and thawing, Just be sure to thaw your blue's meal out well! Using ice trays are all the rage very handy. Try not to go over board on the fruit. you ever see what a big bluey can do to a bowl of berries?!!

I get 1 can of dog food, mix it with a bunch of different kinds of veggies in a food processor and freeze in small containers. I just buy a squash of one kind or another and a bag of mixed veggies. I generally try to add broccoli because Coomassie loves it. I generally feed fruit by it's self as a treat (ie if I buy strawberries from the store and Coomassie is watching tv with me while I'm eating them, I will cut one up for him) and add things like calcium and vitamin powder on top of the food when I go to feed it rather than mixing it in. I make up about 2 to 3 months worth of food at once. I generally don't like to do more than that because I don't want his food sitting in the freezer for ever and I have limited freezer space.

I have just started doing this - and Skeeter loves it. So do I. I put my veggie cubes in the ziplock bags that you can remove the air - no freezer burn. :ohyes:
