    About $1,500 a month in the winter, $2,000 a month in the summer for just Rodent Chow and Bedding.

    How long will 50lbs of lab blocks last a breeding group of 4-5 rats?

    Excuse my ignorance but what is a lab block - food?

    In Ireland I have a big problem getting feeders, especially live ones - it is illegal here for a pet store to sell rates/mice as live food.

    With that in mind I have just started to breed my own feeders but have no idea yet of what it will cost to do so and any tips on minimising cost without compromising on quality would be appreciated.

    1 bag of mazuri roughly once every 2 months. 20$= 10$ mo
    1 bag of equine fresh every 2 weeks. 6$= 12$ mo
    1 bag of aspen once every 3 months. 11$= 3.6$ mo
    Add in some odd's and ends= avg 5$ mo.

    Roughly something like 27-30$ a month.
    Give or take. As our numbers grow, our food bill goes up. I may be close to buying a bag a month.


    wow, I thought it was more than that I'm spending, but I should actually keep track... lol
