Please forgive me- im not very technicaly inclined and dont cook- how am i supposed to get the right proportion of water to food for the sandfire commercial brand- im sorry- i just don t understand how you measure powder as volume- thanks,
Zach

I just take 1/4 tablespoon of powder and 1/2 tablespoon of water, then mix.

take whatever little scoop you are going to use, doesn't matter if it has a measurement on it or not. get a level scoop of powder and then 2 level scoops of water, that's it!

Buy a set of measuring spoons...

For 4 adult Rhacs (one crested gecko, three gargoyle geckos) I mix one teaspoon of powder to two teaspoons of water. I divide it among the four geckos...so probably 3/4 teaspoon each. Adjust by how much is left in the bowl..if the lick the feed tray clean add a bit more.

Basically when mixed it should be the consistency of milk.. so even without accurate measuring, you can guess how much water to add.

I typically make batches that are actually more like 3 teaspoons powder to 6 teaspoons water, then refrigerate for up to a week...so that feeds my geckos for a week's period...I feed 2-3 times a week.
