I use a tiny bit of high quality dog food. Primarily because I always have it around. I have a dog. I'll use the moist can food as is or toss some dry food in with Mazuri and soak it. Holistic food made by NUTRO.

I use boiled chicken, hard boiled eggs once in a while, bugs more so in the spring/summer months, and then they get some protein from pellet food.

This is what I use, as recommended by Terry Kilgore ( Turtletary.com). I rehydrate it, add fruit and sprinkle with calcium.

My Redfoots go nut's when they smell the cat food soaking in water. All 7 love it.
Mushrooms would be plant protien. I feed mine mushrooms but use the cat food as the animal protien. :)
