So I saw a bunch of jars of baby food on sale, and I grabbed a couple of the " Bananas and Sweet potatoes " kind.
I wasn't sure if I can use this for a soaking additive or not ffg or my hatchlings....???
Any thoughts?
I was also curious as to what kinds of baby food are recommended for soaks? There was a bunch of different kinds on sale .

Baby food soaks are ONLY used for tortoises that haven't been eating and their eyes are swollen shut. You compare the vitamin A content and use the 'flavor' that has the highest vitamin A content. In my experience this is the strained carrots. I wouldn't soak a non-fruit eating species in bananas.

Yep. It was a like a pile of rainbow colored glass jars. It almost looked like something Arty would ingest! But I still fully intend to use the jars for cuttlebone pieces and eggshells, etc. $0.49
