:wave123 Hey everyone I was wondering what you guys think about the recipe Nut balls here is the reciepe
1 cup rice flakes (Heinz or Gerbers' baby rice cereal -- do not use any substitute here, such as whole grain cereals since they all block calcium absorption)
½ cup ground-up pecans
2/3 cup sesame seeds
1 Tablespoon Brewers' Yeast powder. (Brewer's yeast tablets may be used. Grind up enough to make a full tablespoon of powder per 100 Nutballs). Do NOT use Baker's yeast from the grocery store since it is used for making bread rise and is not suitable for eating in this raw form. Brewer's Yeast is not the same thing and can be found in powder form at the health food store or in tablet form (cheaper) at Wal-Mart. (Tablets need to be mashed into a powder.)
1 Tablespoon Lecithin granules or 1 teaspoon liquid Lecithin -- (Lecithin capsules, also available at Wal-Mart, may be used since they are more readily available, cheaper, and are not sold in such large quantities as the jars. Cut the end off 3 or 4 capsules and squish the goosh into the liquid ingredients. Salad oil will remove this from fingers easily, since it is an oil-emulsifier.)
1½ to 2 heaping teaspoons KAL brand dolomite powder (about 1560-2000 mg. calcium) -- (Do NOT accept any substitute such as bone meal, oyster shell or egg shell calcium, or any other kind of commercial calcium tablets, no matter what the health food store people tell you. They are NOT the same. Substituting or omitting this key ingredient will only defeat the purpose of the nutballs which is to supply calcium and magnesium in the proper balance and proportions. Dolomite tablets may also be used as long as you crush them up to make 1 to 2 heaping teaspoonfuls of powder.)
Vitamin C -- 1000 mg. (mashed tablets) - (Do not use powder which is too concentrated)
6 - 10 alfalfa tablets, mashed
1/4 teaspoon iodized salt
Cod liver oil (enough for 6000 I.U's Vitamin A and 600 I.U.'s Vitamin D) (Use liquid from bottle. Do NOT, do NOT, do NOT use capsules!) Liquid Norwegian Cod Liver oil IS a recommended kind to use. This should amount to approximately 1 ½ teaspoons cod liver oil per 100 Nut Balls. The cod liver oil is where the Vitamin D is that combines with the dolomite powder and other vitamins and minerals so calcium and magnesium can be assimilated.
Vitamin E 600 I.U.'s. (Use liquid Vitamin E --NOT capsules.) -- This amounts to 2 c.c.s (or ml) of Vitamin E
1 to 2 teaspoons salad oil, vegetable oil, or olive oil -- (NO salad dressing or lard, please.)
Choose from any of a combination of the following optional ingredients to make ½ cup liquid:
Mashed banana
Applesauce
Frozen strawberries with syrup or natural juices
Apple juice concentrate (no water added)
Fruit cocktail (in heavy syrup -- or natural juices) with maraschino cherries removed
Canned pears or peaches in heavy syrup or natural juices
Pure juice (100%) nectar
Frozen blueberries (or fresh if available)
Also how do you feed your squirrels I know some people have flyers and greys. So can you feed them the same?:thinking
Like what does your weekly food schedule look like and how much?
I am just trying to do some research and learn a little more thanks
