Fish Jello

[katach]

Ok, so I've seen several places online that have talked about a fish jello. Has anyone used this, and what did you think about it? If your garters liked it, do you have a recipe with inexpensive ingredients? Thanks!

I believe Shannon(aSnakeLovinBabe) used it and had a recipe.

Found this thread:

Is fish jello any safer than using just fish? Or are all the parasite threats still there?

[katach]

From what I've read, the jello gets frozen and that eliminates the parasite risk. Please someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Length of time and the temp. it is stored at seem to determine whether all parasites are killed.
Longer, colder temps are best.
Here's a link to an article I found:
Of course this article only talks about nemotodes.

I used it for a couple of years as well & it worked great. I stopped when I found out that my snakes would take the fish with vitamins without needing to make the jell-o. Makes it much easier, the jell-o can be quite messy to make. Essentially it's just an easy method to administer their vitamins, but if they'll eat the dusted fish without having to make the jell-o it's much easier.
