Native earth protein also comes from plant sources, rather than animal fat.
Yes, that's exactly why I prefer Native Earth / Harlan. All in all I'm not terribly impressed with any product by Purina. Unfortunately there are no feed stores near me that have or will order either Mazuri or Native Earth.

meowmeowkazoo, I think I've adopted some rats from you. Anyway, there is a feed store in Fort Worth that sells Mazuri 6F, which I've switched to feeding because of the NE/HT sourcing issue. They only sell it at one of their locations and the person I spoke to said to let them know somewhat in advance if you'll be needing some. They sell a 50lb bag for about $24. Let me know and I'll post or PM their info.
