I'm not sure what type of meat the gelatin was made from, Knox and off brand gelatins generally don't tell and I'm using a store brand, but if it's good enough for a person to consume I'm sure it'll be fine. Haha I'm just happy it's not soy!
RedEaredJade wrote:Lol Well, I'll leave that to Jade to decide. I think I'm going to post a separate question to see if anyone knows the general grams per week a RES should have of protein . It might be a long shot, but someone might know. If I know that, then I might be able to adjust between his store bought food and the j-shots. (I got him Zoomed floating pellets today!! I'll be alternating between this and Reptomin until the Reptomin is gone. No need to waste it.)

RedEaredJade wrote:The $6 bunch of greens that I mixed and gelatin I bought is enough for at least four 64 serving batches. I'm thankful for my wiggle room as I learn. I'll let you know the final recipe once I have it. Haha If you'd like. By the way, they seem to solidify okay with only 1 gelatin pack. I use an ice cube tray (like most I'm guessing) to make it. It seemed like only to cubes that had a little more liquid in them and not as many greens that are still a little soft. I think it will work, though.

RedEaredJade wrote:Oh, okay. They take overnight in the fridge to harden, in my experience. I'm going to use 1/4 cup less water in the batch I make tonight and see if that makes them all the same consistency.
