Brians Rodent Pellets

Anyone use these? I suppose he produces it for his own operation (ratsicles.com), so it should be good enough for my own mice colony. It appears pretty cheap compared to pet store prices. $1.20 for a 5# bag. (plus ship) 65# for $16 bucks:O

With the help of a nutritionist, this lab block was developed to have 16% protein, 5% crude fat, essential vitamins and minerals, and low corn content.

Point taken. It would only be $22 for shipping to me. But that is still like $.58 per #. Guess I need to find a feed store that sells Mazuri.

What
Mazuri product do you buy?

See if you can find Flint river mills. I pay 10 and change for 50 pounds. Not sure if it is available up north. But you never know. Todd

i looked at flint river site and could only find dog and cat food,is what your using dog food? could you give more info on it protein,fat content etc. is there any food dyes in it? thanks in advance and have fun!

I have been using SunSeed lab blocks for years; they are great because I can buy 25 pounds for $12.00 (my friend goes in on a 50-lb bag with me.) They might be more readily available..

i use kent rodent diet in made by kent feeds and i get 50lb bags for 9.00 form a local feed shop that i have order it for me. you can go here and find a local dealer http://www.kentfeeds.com/Dealer-Locator.aspx

I did find a local purina feed store and got mazuri 6f 5m30 for $18 for 50 lbs. not bad. Thansk for all the info everyone!

I don't feed dog food. This is actual rodent pellets. At the bottom you will see the 1-800 number. I called them and they found me a local source. I threw out the bags on my last two I bought. But I will be getting more this weekend. There is another flint river of some sort. But they are not the same company. They seem to be only in the southern states as of right now. But the bags still go for under 12 dollars a 50 pound bag,. I have used it on my rats and mice for years. I also have a friend that uses it for a large colony of rats and has never had a problem.
