I don't think there's much of an issue. I know several people who have rats and mice as pets. Both said you can give either pretty much anything as long as it isn't fried and it isn't covered in sugar. One even mentioned giving her rats a treat of baked chicken.
rats are not the same as mice when it comes to dietary needs.
the reason for me saying that is because at times mice who are feed meat based foods they will tend to want it all the time one way or another.
feeding pets and feeding breeders are total different things.
oh yes also most cheap dog food contains more dyes than you can shake a stick at
