    Is the nutrition content about the same as you would find in some of the more popular rat foods? I was thinking about going this route, if I couldn't find some one to buy bulk rat food from.

    Thanks for all the replies guys!

    Re: Where to buy rat food

    Some will say yes, some will say no...

    I say no as well. I see all kinds of posts on here all the time with people having issues with their litters, and one thing they all seem to have in common is they all use dog food. Sometimes you see it pop up with 6f too, but not anywhere near as much with dog food. I think everyone starts out like you going to local pet stores but you will quickly realize its pointless. Not sure where your located but mazuri actually has a store locator and it works great. Someone on here showed it to me right when I was about to give up hope, and that day I was able to find a place. Hopefully there is someone close by.

    You guys can keep wasting your money on lab blocks. I will keep producing healthy, highly fertile rats at a lower cost. Enjoy.

    Re: Where to buy rat food

    Okay, guys, so where are these supposed feed stores? I have never, in my life, seen one or heard of one (at least not until I came here). If anyone knows where one is around Pittsburgh it would help a couple of us, at least.

    You can put in your actual zip and it'll find you all kinds of local feed stores.
    Feed stores are basically stores that have supplies for farms and things like that.

    Re: Where to buy rat food

    Hehe, they don't always put those kinds of links in the most obvious of places. Usually end up putting a small link at the bottom of a page somewhere and expect you to find it or give in and just order direct.
