which Hog Feed is the best for rodents?
Hey everyone
ive been feeding my rats mazuri 6f for some time now, but the feed store where i get it keeps charging more and more for it plus they never have it in stock.
i was reading what other people use as alternative for mazuri and i found some people use a Hog Feed
so im wondering which it is
if you can provide the Name and Brand it would be very helpful
thanks

But I will tell you right now that rodents tend to use hog feed for more of a bathroom site. You end up wasting more then you buy because of this. If I had mazuri here, I'd use that but I don't so the hog food is all I have for an alternative.
Im actually feeding mazuri to both of my rats asf and regulats
but mazuri price is raising too much
was thinking on something more affordable:/

Well, in the end the hog feed may be the same price depending on how much is wasted. I am currently looking for something different because of this. They do eat it if they are hungry enough. I had one colony that I ended up culling because they would eat their litter before touching the hog feed. I use Pro Stock if you can get it in your area. Also, if you use hog feed, think of also grabbing pro stock hen/chicken scratch. That really helps them get over the taste of the hog feed. I have wasted less hog feed adding chicken scratch.

I didnt know that rats dont like hog feed
I thought it was almost the same as mazuri because many people use it
