My local feed store keeps charging more and more for Mazuri 6F. It is now up to $23.99 for a 50 lb bag. Can anyone recomend somewhere that sells cheaper???? Please send any suggestions in Central to NE Florida or SE Georgia!

Re: Please help me find a better rodent food supplier!!!
Hey Mike, you're lucky my Mazuri 6F is $26.99/50lb bag now!! I am in the search for another food now as well. I have found a hog food that looks like the same ingredients, very similiar protein/fat percentages at Tractors Supply. I know they have tons of locations in Florida, but not sure how close they are to you. Try tractorssupply.com and you can find a list of stores. I am going tomorrow and get some and try it out, I see no reason why it wouldn't work just as good as the mazuri, everything is almost identical! Oh, and this stuff is only $11.99/50lb bag, woohoo!!!
Custom reptile and amphibian enclosures! As well as other custom wood working.

What is the name of the food? I have a local Tractor Supply. Is it big enough to sit on top of the 1/2" screen?

Re: Please help me find a better rodent food supplier!!!
wow I get mine for 19.95 a bag.. Of course I order it 10 bags at the time so I am getting a break. Contact your local Purina Rep and see if having it shipped direct from purina to a purina dealer would be cheaper.

Re: Please help me find a better rodent food supplier!!!
We buy our Mazuri for 24.99 a 50 lb bag. It has gone up almost 3 dollars since I began to buy it a while ago, but it's leveled out now from the rising price of corn.
I haven't tried it, but Kent is supposed to carry a rodent feed that Tractor Supply can special order for you.
Their website does not show a link to it, but I have personally emailed and called Kent a year ago and was able to get a nutrition label, and from what I remember it was good. Not to mention quite a bit cheaper than Mazuri.
Something to think about, giving rat feed to rats.
Found the label for the 19%

In my opinion if I went with this hog feed, I would be giving rat food to rats, just with a label that says hog feed, I am going by the ingredients not the label on the bag.

Re: Please help me find a better rodent food supplier!!!
anybody know anything about this hog feed that prototype suggested? It does appear to have the same key numbers as the Mazuri.... any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
By the way I did contact them directly and they said they do not do direct orders to florida. She claimed that if they did, the minimum order for direct buys is like 3 tons!!!!
