I've been reading over the various posts because I too am finding it harder & harder to find the lab block I prefer & at a price that is economical. I'd like to get some feedback on this product that a local business carries.

It's an odd ingredients list, I'll give you that much. I'm trying to understand why certain things are included, and what the nutritional analysis of the product is. And also the measurements for the vitamins at the bottom of the list. Corn is the second ingredient, which doesn't scream high quality to me on first glance.

The protein and fat content sounds about right... but like I said, what an ODD assorment of ingredients.

I found it a bit odd as well & I have not found anything else quite like it for comparison.

Any additional feedback would be greatly appreciated

I just contacted a guy here in Raleigh NC to get some prices on the 6F I hope they are good! If not I will still be in search of a cheaper food for the feeders.
