How big is Marcel and how old is he? Just curious because he reminds me of my little Jockey in so many ways.
We moved on from homecooking looong ago to raw. So, now we do the Natures Variety Raw Frozen Medallions. I think homecooking is wonderful - but got so tired of all the supplement balancing, which is so important - but I found it so tedious. With raw, the nutrition is 100% complete, bc none of the natural enzymes/nutrition are cooked out of the meat - and they get the calcium from the ground, natural bones. After doing a lot of research - I really found raw most species-appropriate. The animal nutritionist I worked with (via phone, she is out of California) for Marcel developed his fish diet and she was also *thrilled* when I brought up my desire of switching him to raw (though she loves homecooking too). Marcel made the switch to raw without a single issue! So, you can see there are a lot of options for ya ! Marcel will be 2 in December and weighs 3.4 pounds.

And if you do need to move to homecooking a fish diet for a while, I'll help you figure it out . I used to cook a bunch at once and store it in the fridge. Now, I just toss medallions in the bowl and we're done!
