Yup, thats why when you take multivitamins that say 2000% vitamin c (water soluble) it isnt neccessarily any better than one with 300%.... your body will use what it needs, and expel the rest.

That and most multi-vitamins usually show the % for a full grown human, not for a tiny rat, or even know what % of what vitamins a rat needs tot be healthy, or a snake.

Id say just go with a quality lab block, and if you cant find one, or want to supplement their diet, check out the sticky on Becky's snack mix :)

I know some websites sell enough for a few rats, but when you are dealing with 50lbs per bag, shipping becomes cost prohibitive.

I pick mine up at the factory, though I know many pet stores sell a decent block, purina or mazuri or?? I know there are others. Just check with local feed store.

Anybody else wondering why lamar capitalizes the first letter of every word?

He is probably typing in all caps but filters can change the text to prevent that so it is limited to only the first letter being capital rather than every letter.

TEST TO SEE IF THAT IS RIGHT

maybe a filter on his computer, bc it isn't one on the site :)

That's what it's supposed to do, but I'm not sure why it didn't work for Tm. Maybe because he has a mix of regular type and all caps, and it's leaving the all caps for emphasis.
