I get once every few months but once I get I want to use all of it obvs. So when I get one I feed it once every 3 days till its all gone takes me a while as my torts are so small.

I do not cook it. I chop it into chunks and blend it... not into a liquid just mushy tiny pieces. They used to love it before xmas but now they aren't touching any of it!!

I tried mine with it uncooked and they wouldn't eat it so I had a go at giving them a piece that was cooked and they loved it.
