How do I pack my own food with squirrel corn, sunflower seeds, and gelatin? Does anyone know a recipe for making feed blocks squirrel? I saw them at Lowes and I could make my own. The ingredients are corn, peanuts, sunflower seeds, and gelatin. Need to know how to make the gelatin block just to hold together. Thank you all for your help.
