Well its been a little over 2 weeks now that I posted this and I just want to comment on what I have noticed. First... TSC flake pine shavings... I haven't seen any sneezing or deaths from my colonys, so I am super happy with it and I am going to keep using it. 2nd....As for the Doggy bag dog food my rats seem to love it, but the only thing I see negative about it is it makes my rats coat look rough and their poop is more like diarrhea, so if you don't mind that its not bad...again my rats love it. I am definitely going to be using it as a mix with Mazuri for a different taste for them. Hope this helps people like myself looking to save money.

I have seen mixed reviews on this type of food, so I'll keep you guys updated on what my thoughts are on it, as of now though my ASFs are chowing down on it like they have never eating...lol. While I was there I grabbed me a bag of TSC flake pine shaving to give it a try. Again I have seen mixed reasons on pine shavings for rats, so I will keep you guys updated on my thoughts on that as well. I hope I am not making a mistake with this stuff, but I am trying it out on 2 bins and the rest of my bins will stay aspen. I hope this stuff works. It would save me about 15 dollars. TSC pine=5.99 {8cub} Aspen=24.99 {8cub}
