ASF food?

Is there some big prize for the winner if the OP chooses one feeding method over another?



It's beyond me why all the bickering is necessary. Present your preferences and your reasons for them....and anyone reading them will make their decisions based on THAT. No one is going to decide on which feeding method is "best" based on who hits hardest with the bat.

The proof that my diet is more balanced than yours is not 'in the pudding' it's in the numbers. Look up the dietary needs and %s needed for healthy ASFs and you'll find your diet lacking. That doesn't mean your rats are dying or skinny or mangey or anything. I'm not insulting your methods. But the truth is that you can't just buy any over-all perfect food for rodents, and even a mix is typically off, but can be much closer to their true dietary needs.

Look up the dietary needs? Who is this mistery man that has already defined their dietary needs? What exactly were his findings?

For me, producing animals for show and pets, an extremely good diet is necessary.

Ah, so your pets require the highest qualitiy food ingredients because you strive for the biggest, healthiest rats.... But that isn't what I strive for because all my rats are used for is food for my very expensive snake collection... wait, I am confused!

pushing what.....his opinion,findings and experience. (as you do) why is it that if someone disagrees with you you find it sooooo offensive ? mod make them stop!

perhaps it time to learn how to live,learn,laugh,love and accept like on life's terms instead of demanding your own terms.in short GROW UP.

Hog grower feed by purina is the best food period. It is the cheapest, at under 10 bucks for 50 lbs at any local feed store, and is all you need.

FYI, I found some of this a few days ago and my ASFs *love* it. I've used about 1/2 of a 50lb bag in less than a week, which is about twice as much Ol' Roy dog food that they'd eat in the same time period.

I'm very anxious to see if this improves the growth and production rate of my ASFs. Especially considering that I just spent $300 on rats last night!






edit: I can't find any for sale @ $10. This stuff was $18 a bag, but it will be worth quite a bit more than that to me if I get results.

Well he can't tell the difference between black, agouti, and cinnamon phenotypes, so I wouldn't say guru.
