I think you'll decide not to use dog food. Not good for the rodents and makes them stink more.

My rats were thin and ate a ton of this food.

As far as dog food, watch the protein content as many have stated and watch out for the red dyes. I think it was red dye #40. In my experience dog food has made my rats greasy and stink more.

I was lucky to finally find a local supplier of Mazuri. I get 50lbs of Mazuri for around $30. That is $0.60 per pound. I also supplement with fresh foods like oats, corn flakes, bran flakes, veggies, and fruits. Occasionally they also get baby food (I buy meat baby food as treats for my ferrets and pick up the meal type baby foods for the rats).
