Yes that is what I feed exclusively since 2010 and here is whyOriginally Posted by BRD
I have been breeding feeder since 2007 and I produce a few THOUSANDS a year both mice and rats, when I first started like everyone I used Mazuri for Feeder Breeder.
One of the things that bothered me the most was that the rats and mice were developing mammary tumors at a high rate in my opinion, there was not a week that would go by without me having to retire some females, so I did some research and I researched Doggy Bag from tractor supply (I am big on reading labels) and while I would not feed it to my dogs it does great for feeders.
I did not jump blindly I did a side by side comparison 1 rack on mazuri for a year 1 rack on Doggy bag for a year, I recorded everything for overall appearance, to litter sizes to mammary tumors. I was surprise that nothing was affected except for mammary tumors, they just rarely happened in the rack fed with doggy bag.
After a year I made the switch completely, and I rarely see tumors in rats anymore and they become even more rare in my mice colony.
