Harlan has changed to a $1000 minimum order and they are possibly going to raise that! They are trying to cut the "reptile people" out of the loop since the new owners mission is to cater to the labs......
This is very true. I purchase from Harlan and they don't want the little guys any more.
I've always been a boa girl at heart.
Where reptiles are not just apart of our lives, they are our lives.
They are Living art.
I fed Harlan for a few months but had to ship it in and got too costly so switched to Mazuri, seems like they went through a lot more at first but back to normal after a month or so on it and haven't seen any difference in production so I don't really care although I do think it's poorer ingrediants than the Harlan.
As an owner and breeder of pet rats, I would feed either Harlan or Oxbow Regal Rat. Granted, I'm feeding for overall health and longevity, so we probably have different standards, and I know I wouldn't want to spend $40 on food for a rat that has a three to six month life expectancy. However, I will note that my main concern for my pet's is that they maintain good muscle tone and have strong immune systems, which I would imagine would make them good food. The more important thing, I've noticed, is the amount of fresh vegetables and other "human foods" they'll receive.
