Is it possible to feed vegies to Demasoni from the grocery?? If so which types and how to prepare.

I've fed my labs some lettuce that was previously washed and frozen in the freezer for a day.. it makes it softer for them to tear into. Just put it in a feeder clip.
I've also done raw cucumbers and they/the pleco fed on it for a bit. Just make sure to remove it after a day or it will become a slimy mess. To weight it down use some rocks.

I use frozen peas, romaine lettuce, and cucumber.

I boil them to get them soft, then cool them in cold water, chop the cucumber into tiny pieces.
and the peas i squeeze them to get the skins off. the lettuce i tear into small bits. I put only a little in at a time so it doesnt pollute the water if they dont eat it all.

Dont forget the salad dressing! (kidding)

My fish didn't like the frozen, maybe cause I never boiled them :roll: . No need to boil if you use canned, I have luck with (must be unsalted) canned green beans, unsalted canned peas if I separate the insides from the shell, and fresh zucchini cut in half or in pieces and rubber banded to a rock. I've put in whole halfs of zucchini and there is never anything left over except skin, you can leave it in there for a day or two and its fine. Other then this I feed all my fish NLS cichlid pellet 1mm, 3mm, and also spirulina flakes. GL
