I have been thinking recently about finding a premixed food to feed as a supplement to regular feedings of night crawlers and pinkies. I have also wanted something that troubled eaters (guppies only) would eat. I've been fooling those eaters by overloading the feed dish with worm pieces and very few fish. This has worked but guppies are expensive and aren't always available when I need them.
One of our new members(PINJOHN) got me brainstorming on this idea.
I've been feeding my snapping turtles a multitude of thing and Trout Chow is in the mix. I got thinking about the Trout Chow. It is fish based and seem to work well on my turtles.
The brand I'm using is Purina- Grower 500 Here's what I found out about it.
I tested a few water soaked pieces out on a couple young radixes and they seemed to like it. I can imagine this wet meal being mixed in with worm parts.
What are your thoughts.
