    Yes, but you'll over pay for it at PetSmart. If you can find a Purina dealer near you (try your local feed and tack store) who can order it in, that would be the way to go. I pay $18 for 50 pounds, instead of $7 for 2 pounds.

    Yup. Many breeders use it exclusively, my rats see some trimmings from the kitchen periodically (celery tops, carrot peels, etc), but otherwise subsist on the Mazuri 6f.

    Yes, you can use it exclusively. I'd suggest using the Mazuri website's dealer locator to find a place near you that can order it in for you in the big bags.

    Also look into Kent Feeds as well. I switched from Mazuri to kent and seen no production loss form the change.

    Costs 12$ per 40lbs bag of Kent

    Kent Feeds. You need to look at the label attached that says Rodent Feed on it
