IM using Kent 23%. I used to feed strictly mazuri 6f but at 23$ per bag and going though 3 bags a week was a waste.

When i switched to Kent, production stayed the same, and the were eating about 25-50lbs less a week depending how over ran i am.

My rats, are popping out litter after litter NON stop of 12-20 consistently. Rat recently 3 weeks ago dropped 32 pinks. if i knew my food was the problem for deaths and non production i would of switched years ago. But my production problem is i get too many males than females.

And about 8 weeks ago i started tossing in whole oats 13% protein and like 2% fat and so on. One hand full every 3 days on cleaning day. This keeps them for eating that for a day rather the kent. This also cut my bill in about 20% using Whole oats.

And i have same problem with Lazy mice, not wanting to figure out the Water Valves. And end up dieing, mostly Hoppers.

Have you tried horse sweet feed instead of oats? Runs about $4 a bag cheaper than straight oats. I use it on cleaning day, just like you, keeps them busy and give a bit of variety. I only use a bag a week.
I hear ya on trying to save. I order 20 bags of mazuri and 40 bags of rat block a month. It hurts even when they raise prices just $1 a bag.

The bag of oats is 50lbs for $10. Been 2 months and bag is still half full and i give them big hand fulls.

Never seen horse sweet feed but then again its in different aisle in feed store than where i go.

Just to clarify, petfooddirect and nationalpetpharmacy are the same company. Why they do it that way, with two different sites.. No idea. If I need something, I often check between the two to see which site is offering the better deal that day.

I'd like to add a word of caution for those buying bags of feed from them. Better stock up before they catch on and nix the $5 shipping deal. When I first started out, the native earth was less than ten bucks a bag and shipping was very reasonable. After I ordered about five bags, they cranked up the price and the rate. That's when I finally went and found myself a local dealer for rat feed.

Bing. Called it. Good luck to those who are looking for suppliers.

No joke...they are going to lose a lot of business operating the way they have been! Ive got one order in and they changed the shipping! AND...I was going to order 5 bags Friday and now they changed the price today!RIP OFF!! Mazuri 6f is better and same price..
