Hello, I made a batch of "#6 - A Healthy Hookbill Diet" and Beaker likes it a lot. But I also came across the webpage for Higgens Worldly Cuisines.

I was wondering if the Higgens is a good alternative (since I don't really like cooking). I noticed that the Higgens has nuts in it, which is a little concerning because I fear Beaker will get full on the nuts and ignore the rest. However, they do put a lot of tasty flavors in there so perhaps he will enjoy eating all of it equally.

Which would you prefer? What are the reasons for preferring Higgens over the "#6 A Healthy Hookbill Diet" or vice-versa?

I've seen Higgins but I've never wanted it, all you have to do is check out the ingredients and then you can make something similar(or the same, but I like adding more healthy greens) at home with variations to the ingredients. The produce in them are better fresh anyways, they loose nutrients when they are dried out. I like making things in bulk then putting them in week long baggies. I put them in the microwave for 30 seconds to warm it up, then add something cool like carrots to bring them back to slightly above room temperature. they are also expensive for the small amount you get.

And I LOVE that first site you posted, I've never seen it before. I love finding new birdie recipes :)

I make and feed chop but once in awhile (read if I see it on sale) I'll get the Higgins for something a little different.
