Tricks to produce more rats?

[JohnNJ]

#1 - Doggy Bag dog food is fine for rats. People will tell you that it isn't, but do yourself a favor and look at the macronutrient breakdown and the list of ingredients. I would venture to say that I have more rats than anyone here. All of my rats eat ONLY Doggy Bag and they produce like it's going out of style.

I bought a bag of DB this weekend to try. I presume that the main reason to purchase DB over Mazuri is cost. The 40lb. bag of DB was $14 and a 50lb. bag of Mazuri 6F is $25. The price difference per pound is 15 cents.

Since I'm only breeding for myself the cost savings is meaningless. I'll use up the bag by supplementing the Mazuri with the DB but I won't switch over completely.
