    The dust of rat food in bottom of bag

    What do you guys do with it? I feel like I'm throwing money away. I buy a 25lb bag of mazuri and there's always dust at the bottom of the bag even with other rat foods. I just wonder is there a way of making it solid again or do I really just throw it away?

    Thanks

    Add a little water to get a thick apple sauce consistency and its cricket food, feeder roach food, weanling rat pup food, adult rat smoothie food. They eat it no matter what. Add in a little yogurt, YUM!

    You can make it into a wet paste like that, or make it into a 'dough' and then bake it into little rat biscuits and re-use them.

    I don't add water, I just use it as roach chow or mealworm chow. Don't wanna promote mold growth in a warm tub!

    Use it to make peanut butter cookies, take them to work for co-workers and say it's "Organicly healthy natural snackage"

    Then you probably will be giggling too hard to resent the waste of the dust in the bottom of the bag.

    Pssst... it irritates me to see all that crushed food dust in the bag too. FRM rat diet is HORRIBLE for that. It's so crumbled up that there's half a scoop of dust per scoop of chunks, in the CENTER of the bag. The Harlan hasn't had any dust yet and I'm getting near the bottom of the bag now.

    Mix in a little dried milk for calcium, and feed it to your crickets or roaches...
