I would recommend using a ziplock freezer bag to seal the lid up quickly! I find that they're very easy to cut to size and tape down, and the plastic is thick enough that it provides a good seal. They're what I use to seal my own tanks.

Recently saw this food at the pet store when I was buying a new thermometer. Its Flukers moist diet for any animal that eats fruits and veggies. I did notice a few preservatives in it, but I'm not sure if they're harmful or not. http://www.petsmart.com/reptile/food/flukers-garden-blend-reptile-food-...
