I just looked at their site and didn't realize they were as localized as they are. Sorry, I won't recommend again unless someone is in deep south. :(

You're going to need to watch that though. FRM seems to have really high protein levels to be an effective feed for rats. Most good rat food has a protein level of 16-18%. That's the general guideline that I've been taught.

I say go with Mazuri. I've got a colony of 12 and anywhere from 10-50 growouts at any time and a $25 bag of mazuri lasts me anywhere from a month and a half to 2 months.

No I dont have any trouble with them chewing on the tubs. I currently feed mazuri but if I could get a feed that was half the cost but almost the same I was going to go for it.

Thanks Adam, I went on a recommendation here. When work picks back up fulltime and this bag is gone, I'll make the switch.
