Steady supply of Rat Food

Hello everyone,

I am having a difficult time finding a steady supply of decent rat food for an affordable price. Where does everyone get their lab block from? I can't afford $30/bag but it seems the price just keeps going up and up. Is there somewhere that sells food for less? Either a store or online is fine, bulk would also be just fine.

So... Where does everyone get their feed?

We get Mazuri 6f for 22.00 a bag and that's only because we buy 2000 pound a month of it.. In south Fl I don't really know where you'd look.

I get mine at local feed stores. 30 dollars for a 30 pound bag isn't a bad price, especially when the chain petstores sell 5 pound bags for 15 dollars.

I was using Mazuri, but I found some generic dog food at Publix for $18/40# with 21% protein, 8% fat and 4.5% fiber. There is actually some Mazuri left in the feed trays after 2-3 months. Weinlings are growing like weeds and production is good.

May be worth a try and it's readily available at any Publix.

I don't know if this link works, but it is what I have been using- http://www.publix.com/p/RIO-PCI-166746?ch=15.2.3.

I use native earth (harlan teklad 2018). I buy from either petfoodirect or pet360.. If you do the bulk deal from pet360, it's not a bad price (considering shipping is free). They also send coupons every few weeks, which makes it a better deal. I get my aspen from them too.

I get mine (F-R-M) from the feed store 50lb bag for $19, or you can get lower protein 50lb bag for $15.

The great thing about rats is they eat anything! I give mine a combination of dog food, trail mix, and fruit and veggie scraps. My pregnant or nursing rats also get yogurt treats.

Healthy rats make healthy snakes :)

Mine get table scraps too. All the preggos and mommas also get boiled eggs.

Local feed store, Mazuri 6f 50lb for $25.

Thanks everyone for your help! I actually used to order Harlan from petfooddirect but then their awesome deal stopped and I ended up getting out of herps for a bit. I didnt know about pet360 and I just checked their site and they have an incredible deal going on! Please go cash in!!! FIVE 40lb bags of Native Earth 18% for $99!!! Put in the code RMN20 for an additional $20 off!!!! I just purchased 200lbs of rat food for $80 SHIPPED ($16/40lb bag) DO. IT. NOW!!!!! :gj::gj::gj:

Btw - when this deal ends I will for sure be looking into Publix's dog food! Thanks coreydelong, that sounds like a good option for me as well :cool:
