I've mixed up buckets of Becky's rattie mix (b/c I bought so much of the individual bags, I ended up w/about 2.5 molasses buckets worth. )

Can I sub something else for the split peas and lentils, nutrition-wise????? They're eating everything else but scattering the sp & l's to the bottom of the bedding OR in the little girls cage they're all just left in the bottom of the crocks. I can't afford to just keep vacuumming or throwing the ingredients out.

They're getting yogurt treats, have lab blocks, becky mix and water all free choice. The only difference btwn Becky's mix and what I did, is that I didn't use any muesli cereal, just 100% bran flakes, puffed rice and puffed wheat, oatmeal and the cheerios. Would there be detrimental nutritional value if I just don't use the split peas & lentils in the next batch??

Oh, and the dog food is Iams' Large Breed kibble. A little bit higher protein, but I had about 1/2 bag left over. Will Iams' Kitten food be good enough for the nursing mommies??? Squeeky got kind of thin, despite my feeding her the fresh foods, chkn bones, and free-choice mix and blocks.

Thanks!
