Depends on the dog food. If it's a crap brand, then neither. If it's a good brand like Wellness Senior, then go with the 18%.

It would be MUCH better to find a feed store that sells Purina products and have them order you a bag of Lab Blocks. Mazuri is a good brand to use.

I only use about 4lbs of Wellness Senior in my 50+ lbs of food mix that I make. It makes up a very small percentage. They shouldn't be eating only dog food.

cant get rat food in this country... and it's crap food, we dont get wellness over here, pedigree is considered a gr8 brand in Costa Rica... but im not feeding my rats that s|-|it...

Any other name brand available?

Have you read the Sticky I wrote? You can use mostly people food; puffed and crispy rice, brown rice, cheerios, different cereals(unsweetened), dry pasta, slow-cooking oatmeal, and just add "some" dog food to it. At least the people food is inexpensive.

Edit: I beg ur pardon, THANKS BECKY
