    just throw a small pile of food in each tub, make an educated guess on what they'll eat, and wait 2-3 days, checking on each bin. If you see they ate it too fast, give more next time, if they didn't finish most of it, feed less next time.

    I wold also recommend feeding something else other than just dog food. It's not nutritionally balanced enough for them.

    In a mouse mixture (almost the same nutrition needs as ASFs) 50-70% of the food should be oats and barley. Then seeds, rice, dog kibble, lentils etc can be mixed in. So that gives you an idea of how un-balanced it is to feed 100% kibble.

    I don't feed dog kibble, my dog just thinks it is, lol. They also get all kinds of porridge mix, trail mix (nuts) seeds a day or two before I clean their tubs (because seed makes a huge mess) the bread loaf ends, veggie scraps, and superworms. I give them all kinds of things. I have one momma rat who is completely obsessed with baby carrots!

    Ah, good!
    Welp just read the top half of my comment then.

    My cat thinks dog food is cat food, and my opossum thinks my face is opossum food as of last night (ow) so no surprise that the dog thinks the rodent chow is dog chow.
