Baby food question

Lazor1 Sep 19, 2004 01:49 AM

I noticed that baby foods say to discard after 3 days.
Do those of you with just one or two geckos discard whats not eaten in that time or is it still good longer than that?

I personally discard it to be safe (I might give some to my skink), but I never really asked what others did.

I like to use extra small ice-cube trays and prepare CGD-babyfood mixture ahead of time and freeze. Then it's safe for the geckos, not wasted, and all you have to do is pull out a cube or two from a freezer bag (it'll get freezer burn if left in the trays) and let it thaw during the day to give it to them at night.

I just make up a baby food jar of mixed fruit and some meat baby food with a small bit of reptivite and then the CGD. I keep that until its all eaten in the fridge and often taste it myself. i don't leave the uneaten stuff in the bowl though. the next day i chuck it out.
