Toad's food preperations.

Postby sacs4010 » Thu Jun 18, 2015 1:04 am

Here are some photos of me preparing and making Toad's meals. I am so *darn tired and my back is killing me. lol I have Dandelion Leafs, Mustard Greens, Green Beans, Squash, Papaya, Mango and two different kinds of high quality dog food. The first few photos are of my preparations. Then there is a photo of all the greens and fruits in my mixing bowl. Finally there is a photo of what Toad's food looks like when I am finished mixing it all together. Enjoy!

I wish they made kitchens for people as tall as I am. My back is killing me. I wonder if I did not put enough greens and fruits in this meal batch. What do you guys think? I know it is hard to tell from the photos.

OMG ! And I thought I was good to my skinks! I do not have time to prepare like this for myself!!
I must admit though, I take more time preparing their meals than my own. My skinks just said they want to move in with you. Absolutely over the top awesome.

Looks absolutely perfect!
It is a bit hard to tell ratios, but from looking at the finished mix, I'd say that it looks good.
The only thing I could possibly pick on a bit, and I'm stretching here because you asked :wink: , is to perhaps cut out the fruits and add a couple different vegetables instead; perhaps exchange one of them for carrots --that way you're still adding a bit of sweetness if he's used to fruits being in the mix. I happen to remember how happy Toad was to eat already when he was here, and it doesn't sound like much has changed there, so I don't think he needs the additional sugar from fruit in his meals. :wink:
