RIP Gandalf and Big Bird, you are missed.
Room temperature or a bit cooler. Most important is to avoid feeding encapsulated items such as beans that are blazing hot inside but comfortable on the outside. At risk is burning the sensitive tissue in the crop, causing a major medical emergency. I generally prepare chop each day of feeding, so it is a time consuming process that allows for temperature equalization. If you defrost from frozen, do some sampling before feeding for safety!

I'm going to be preparing sweet potato mash today. going to make enough to freeze hopefully. We've been working on our vegetables this week and with your help of eating with her and pretending to eat her veggies really helped. Timneh will eat cauliflower and broccoli now both rejected before.
