feeding contraption

How many afs do you have that you only go through 5lbs? My buddy does regular rats and goes through atleast 20 if not more...... I have a feeling I'm not going to find large nuggets anywhere. And I refuse to pay for shipping. That would be all too expensive then

I only have 3 colonies...and i guess comparatively thats not alot compared to some people. But the food i give is pretty pricey.... so keeping down on wasted food is good for me

My rats and asfs have a hopper.

I buy my Mazuri 6F at the local feed store. Any store that carries Purina products might be willing to order some for you if they don't already carry it. I pay about $26 for a 50 pound bag, and depending on how many rodents I have, I go through a bag in about a month. I feed about 2/3 Mazuri, and 1/3 leftover dog & cat food that I get for free from my job (veterinary clinic).

The 6F is important, in my opinion. I started off with the regular Mazuri food, but once I switched to 6F, I started getting larger litters and the moms seem to bounce back quicker. I was feeding the dog/cat food with the regular as well, so that was the only thing that changed.

Harlan Teklad is another good brand of rodent chow that lots of labs use. I haven't seen it in any stores though.

Well I just want to find somewhere local that stocks the big nugget stuff. The f6 is that pellets or nuggets? Wha type of food is that in the picture above?

My picture above has Mazuri 6f. AKA lab blocks. Its specially formulated for rodent breeding. Keeps Mamas and babies tip top.
