Would it be ok to make up a bulk lot of food (cat food/tegu food mixed with greens and fruit), blend it and stick it into little freezer bags. Then i could defrost it when needed to save me a bit of hassle with buying and prepping food?
Anyone else do this?

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

I'm sure this has been mentioned before in the other threads if you've already done a search, but since I can't remember if it has (I can't even remember if I've mentioned it myself... 
) I figured I'd run it by you.
Here's what I do:
Buy every kind of veggie and green I can find that's good for BTS. I run it through a food processor. Set aside. Cook some chicken or turkey, chop it up, mix it with a dog or cat food, pour in some Mazuri Insectivore granules. Mix in with the chopped veggies and greens.
Now I press this food mixture into icecube trays, cover, and freeze. When solid, I pop them out of the tray and seal each cube tightly in Press'n Seal wrap, and put quickly back in the freezer.
This way I have ready made portions to just thaw, sprinkle with vitamins and calcium, and feed.
