Where can I get this Mazuri? I would like to look into it.

You will have to find a purina dealer or distributor, I know Soldans can order it for you. Soldans is in MI only as far as I know.

I get mine from a local feed store. You can try Mazuri's website, they have a dealer locator:
http://www.mazuri.com/Home.asp?Products=2&Opening=4

Also, if the local feed store near you doesn't carry it, they still may be able to order it for you.

Thank you both for the info.

connie....i forgot to mention that kent for whatever reason does not list there rodent food on there site,it's a special order.any of there dealers can order it,no minimum.

also all tractor supply stores are kent dealers and can order it.

Hey thats great, we may seriously look into the Kent feed. I would like to compare it against mazuri, and if it's just about near the same, I would love to save half of my money!

As for the Rev, I believe we've decided to not breed any girls this year. There's just too much stuff going on in our lives, not to mention we're coming up short for space as of right now. Haha ;) He's getting along fantastically though, he's packed on quite a bit of weight and is no longer that cute little yellow bud you gave us. :D And so far, he is the tamest pet we have, loves to hang out around our necks and just say hi. :sunny:

I've raised rats on a mixture of grain and dog food before, and they just did not seem to thrive quite as well as those on lab blocks. So, I have to go with recommending the lab blocks--Mazuri brand or any other brand. The one I have right now is LabDiet, manufactured by PMI Nutrition. I picked the bag up at a local feed store. Just call around to the actual feed stores, not pet stores, until you find one that carries it. There will be at least one. The one I found actually does orders for the Omaha zoo, so they have pretty much everything.
As was said, most feed stores can and will order it for you. It's not very expensive, you're looking at around $20 for a 50 pound bag. And 50 pounds of these blocks last a LONG time if you feed them in a way to minimize waste. Plus, the blocks are very hard, so they help keep the rodents' teeth trimmed down.
They are more expensive than grain and dog food, but considering my results, I'll pay 5 bucks more for healthy rodents and larger litters.
