Clearly and explicitly directed towards the apparently significant and growing community of BYC readers in India, this article contains a lot of information for anyone else anywhere who wants to avoid commercial feed because, we're told, it doesn't exist in India for domestic keepers, so they have to feed what's available. This involves a mix of eggs, bread (which exists in huge variety of course), rice and millet, for example, a number of common herbs, and some prepared tonics.
