    Go to any feed store and buy oats, millet, and barley in 50lb bags for $10, $14, and $15-20 accordingly.

    Add in some sort of holistic dog food, that's the only thing that is expensive. And you'll have an okay mix. Use mostly the oats and barley.

    You can also buy sweet feed for horses for $10 for $50lbs, and mix that in aswell. Brown rice, thistle seeds, pumpkin seeds, saflower seeds, sunflower seeds, brown and green lentils are all good things to mix in as well.


    You might want to look over on the ASF forum, I've posted a list of foods that ASFs can and cannot eat, and it's a good thing to look at when you're thinking about mixing a food.
    There are also several sites that suggest mixes for rats and mice, and these are both fine for use with ASFs. My mice, rats, ASFs, and spiny mice all eat the same diet, and are all fat and healthy, and raise great litters.

    Here's a link to the ASF forum: http://www.asfrats.info/
    And here's where the food list is posted: http://www.asfrats.info/viewtopic.ph...8&p=2476#p2476
