What's on today's menu & recipe sharing ~2011~

[Kilimanjaro]

Tonight is the staple mixture I mentioned in my last post, along with fresh dragonfruit and fresh papaya.

Almost forgot! :roll: I threw in some cooked venison, too. Yum.

Tonight is a Hide & Seek feast! I have food in multiple small shells tucked all over tat for them to find. I usually put out 2 dishes, but tonight I have 5, 2 with HCP foods, 1 with another fresh acorn,carrots,sweet pepper, one with coconut milk, and one with a fresh hunk of coconut! Since I spread them all out so much want to see if there is any more activity as they move around and find new things. I use to do this with my big parrots and it helped so they didn't get board.

Tonight the hermies are trialing rambutan and young coconut! Yummm!

[Kilimanjaro]

Tonight the hermies are having a mussel (boiled in saltwater), mashed papaya, blackberry, rose petals, and a sprinkling of kelp powder.

They also have a big chunk of young coconut that they've been nibbling on.

Mine are having baby spring mix, raw shrimp, a walnut and a couple raisins.

I bought them a coconut, but haven't opened it up yet. I want them to eat the meat and then we'll have the shells to use for hiding spots. That is the ultimate in recycling!

How come you boiled the mussel? Is that something that should be done for all seafood, or is it personal (or crab) preference? I got some fresh shrimp (with shells and tails on) today and put one in raw for them to eat.

It's more of a personal preference. I do feed them raw meats here and there, but sometimes they drag their meats out of the food dish, and I feel more comfortable if it's been cooked. This particular mussel was pre-frozen, so it was only boiled for a few seconds to get it to thaw out. I'm not even sure if it's cooked all the way!

Tonight's dinner:

Baked organic chicken, dark meat w/cracked bone
brown rice
steamed organic spinach
baked rutabagas

Crabs loved it, so did my husband! The rutabagas especially were popular with the PPs; several were sharing the dish, stuffing their mouths... The E's didn't touch it, but they were all hungover from their digfest yesterday afternoon. :roll:

That was a good choice.

The clan had a big piece of pumpkin today because I was dehydrating the rest for the autumn collection at Kilimanjaro's Kibbles.
