try adding some plain gelatin to all your foods..otherwise, it will be a big "mush" when you add it to any water

+1 on shawnie's idea. I made some home made food for my fishies as treats and used the gello form. It works great!

Oh.... I dont have any jello mix..... will my mixture work or no?

dont use jello...use a plain gelatin ...theres a huge difference...your mix will turn to mush/mud/oatmeal type food without something to hold it together if you do a search , you will find a bunch of different recipe's...if you mix everything in a blender, then pour it into some scrambled egg mix, Ive heard that will act as a good mold for the food....but either way, you need something to keep it together once it hits the water

it will be hard from baking but the second you get it wet, it will be a mess

Oh I see...... could I crush it up into very little pieces and them give a very very small amount to the BBS?
