Well, I made a little of the Easy Gel Food recipe on Betty's webpage and it's in the fridge now. I hope it comes out ok. I didn't use sardines, I used shrimp instead that I defrosted and chopped up. I mixed it in with the babyfood peas and heated it up- but I don't know if it boiled or not It was kinda hard to get the geletin dissolved and I hope it dissolved enough. I also didn't have the Acidophilus. It's not the exact recipe but I figured it was pretty close d it's a first try at this gelatin concept for me Wish me luck!

p.s. how long should it take to set?

LOL, what the heck? How did I do that emoticon?? Lol, I'm not beating anyone over the head with my gel food, don't worry

So did it set up ok?

I'm not sure what it's supposed to look/feel like but I THINK it came out ok. lol It's fun to feed to them!

Well, it's not wiggley like jello but it is set and firm so it will cut nicely. I made gel food using touchofsky's receipe. I made lots and I keep it in the freezer.
It is fun to feed them. Mine love it.

Next time consider instead of tuna or shrimp using sardines. salmon or whitefish
or
adding a tsp of flaxseed oil to get more of the essential fatty acids.

OK I will next time! I just used shrimp because I already had a bag of frozen shrimp in my freezer.

I think the consistancy came out right- it was firm and rubbery-like and cut easily.

Thank you!

Thanks for the tip. I've always got salmon in the house.

Mochashello: that's how it should turn out.
I made a batch once where i put too much stuff in it and it tended to fall apart and was really messy.

Queenie: Cool.
