This is probably in the wrong forum but I need responses pretty quickly.. So a little background, I keep my own mice and rats, since I'm not allowed to use the freezer at all. I feed prekilled. I want to give my Balls the best diet I can, thus want the most healthy mice and rats as possible. However for some stupid reason lab blocks is not sold in my country, it needs to be ordered half a year in advance. The next shipment in is in December.

I hate using seed mixes for them, they make a mess and dont eat most of it, becoming malnutritioned. I have this rabbit pellet food, its decent in nutritional value (a little on the low side for protein and fat) but its amazingly high in crude fibre. its like, 15%. How would this affect my rodents' health? Its vitakraft life dream, nutritional values found here. If this is alright I would use it as their staple everyday food.

Of course since I do breed them if I can, I do supplement with more protein and fat. I have some dog biscuits (the wheat flour biscuit) with protein of 18% and fat 7% minimum, fibre no more than 3%. And i give treats of dried or fresh crunchy fruits and nuts. Would this kind of diet be alright? Or can dog biscuits become their staple food? It looks severely lacking in any proper ingredients so i'm not sure, but they definitely love to eat it.

Thanks all.
