Quality counts for everything
Be it anything you are feeding, I have always fed Nutro to my bullies because of the quality see in my dogs.
I now feed lab-blocks to my mice and rats after seeing how much less food they eat and how much faster the litters are growing. In turn my snakes are putting on more weight and even my problem feeders dont lose as much weight as they use to after 3 or 4 weeks of not eats.
That speaks volumes to me, so you save $15-$20 by using cheap dog food, BUT quality will always count in the end as far as I see it.
My snakes are the final product and are only worth what I am going to put into them so why not start with the quality of their foods food.
example, I have two rescues and a pastel that were all around 200-300g 4 to 6 months ago, I was feeding once a week with pet store rats. They all put on about 100g in 3 to 4 months so that makes them 300-400g in about FOUR MONTHS.
Now my rat production is up to the scale I need at this moment and feeding these same 3 snakes my rats that have been on lab-blocks from their start with me. All three snakes have at least doubled their weights. Nothing has changed except they are fed my rats now.
So, is it the snakes or the food
