    It's Harlan Teklad generic brand. Quite a bit better than Mazuri.

    I dunno. I use 6f with amazing results. Healthy rats, gorgeous coats, huge liters, and no deaths. And not a singe tumor to speak of. There's a lot of haters on mazuri, but I love the stuff. Just my experience with it.

    I used to feed Mazuri.
    I really loved it actually and still do. Never had an issue with it.
    But since Harlan is equal/better and cheaper, I use it now instead. Helps cut costs and my rats are still doing really well on it.

    I use mazuri 6f because i found a 50lb from the mazuri site was $37 shipped and harlan about the same for 40lb bag. Pet360 has free ship but they charge $44 (don't quote me on that) for the 40lb bag. I cant get any of this stuff locally so got to use online source. So far great but i want to get a bag of Harlan to make my own reservations about it.

    I would probably use Native Earth it if it was cheaper. Paying $16.70 per 50lb bag of what I use now, cant afford to more than double my feed bill. (using Kent 19% Rodent Diet) Before I made the switch to that I was using Mazuri and had no complaints about it just found something for less $$.

    I found mazuri 6f for $33 for 50lbs out the door. Plenty affordable for me to stick with it. Got about 300lbs on hand right now.

    Last time I ordered Native Earth from Pet360, which was about 2 months ago.

    To ship 2 50lb bags from Mazuri directly, it's 64$ for me
    It's $85 shipped for 5 bags of 40lb bags of Harlan(Native Earth).

    So, $86 for 200 lbs vs $64 for 100lbs.
    Unless they decided to increase their bulk price since, which would be unfortunate....

    That's a pretty good deal. I get mine literally around the corner tho so I can't beat the convinience. Mom and pop feed store that treats me well so I go back.
