DIY gel based food

Hi

My blue tongue skink doesn't like plant based food at all.
I've tried arugula, green bean and many more. I'm thinking of blending those arugula with dried BSFL and gelatin to make my own version of gel based food. My question is can blue tongue skink eat gelatin?

What is the normal diet? Finely chopping up vegetables and mixing it into canned dog food usually yields good results.

Agreed if you finely chop and mix your veggies in with a protein source most skinks will eat them right up. I would try a protein source of dog food, snails, egg, insects, ground turkey, etc.

Tried this last night

Blended arugula, squash, calcium d3 and bsfl

It works!

Perhaps no need for gelatin :D
