Troubleshooting
Gel is too soft or runny.
Use less water in the next preparation. Ensure the water was boiling and the mixture was thoroughly stirred.
Gel is too hard.
Use more water in the next preparation. Make sure to accurately measure the water.
Reptile is not eating the food.
Try offering the food in different forms (gel vs. jerky). You may need to introduce it slowly, mixing it with familiar foods. Make sure the food is fresh and stored correctly.
