Not everyone has a source nearby that can order Harlan in bulk. (Or order it at all)

Re: Feeding Rats Dog Food?
I was feeding my rats Regal Rat by Oxbow, but they didn't like it. So, I switched to Natural Balance vegetarian formula. It has no meat, and no corn. Their poops don't smell bad, and the food helps with their odor- it's got alfalfa and parsley in it. And on top of that, they love it! I would NEVER feed a vegetarian formula to a dog, but it's great for the rats!

Do you have a tractor supply store nearby?
If so, you can ask them to order Kent rodent feed. Comes out to about the same per pound as cheap dog food (at least when I was quoted a year ago), and is made for rats.

Re: Feeding Rats Dog Food?
I have always feed Mazuri to my feeders and had good luck. A friend of mine only feeds dog food and has luck with it. So I guess it depends on the feeders.

Me too...what I experieced when I switched to doggie bag was a big increase in breeding...go figure but my production almost doubled when I went from Mazuri to doggie bag.

Re: Feeding Rats Dog Food?
When I use doggie bag as a quick pinch deal, my rats get greasy and super stinky. They fly through that crap too. I sure don't like it, and I don't think they liked it either.
