I used to use the dust at the bottom of my rat food bags to feed crickets and roaches..I have stopped breeding crickets and roaches though leaving me with large amount of fine rat food powder at the bottom of my feed bin.
I have decided to try and use that dust as a base to make cheap rat treats. Is there anything else I can add to this recipe to get more bang for my buck?
8 cups rat food dust (kents 19%)
2 Cups alfalfa pellets
2 Large Cored apples
2 Over Ripe bananas
8 Hard boiled eggs
2 Cups stale popcorn
I mixed the pellets with water first as they have to soak a bit to break apart enough to mix in with other ingredients. Once they had became good and mushy I added all the other ingredient (shells included in the eggs) and used my hands to smash / mix everything together. I have them in the oven set at 400 now.
Looking for suggestions as to good ways to tweak this recipe as I have probably around 30-40lbs of this dust sitting around
