purina 5012 lab diet or mazuri 6f

which is better for rats? Why?
I can buy the 5012 but would have to order the 6f

i've just started feeding proform Step 2 extruded horse pellets to the rats, actually and it seems to work quite well. i've never used purina or mazuri though, so i suppose i'm not really of much help.

Mazuri 6 F is designed for rodents to feed rats and mice designed to become feeders.

5012 is very high in protein 22%

My goal when it comes to their diet is to provide 16% to 18% protein max.

5012 is to high in protein IMO would you be able to find "hog feed" closer to ideal protein levels and still be able to not order it?

5012 works decently for mice....
