Okay, I decided after researching rats for a while that i did not want to force them to eat commercial mixes so i tried out the sue bee diet. I felt like there were more options out there that i wanted to try so i found all homemade diets posted on line in blogs and such and made a diet out of the most common ingredients listed. Please tell me what you think about it, like changes i should make regarding ingredients, amount, excreta. Note: basically everything is purchased at whole foods cept for total cereal and wacky mac. I took out all soy products and corn even though more then three other recipes used them because both can be hurtful to rats health. (or so i've heard) I offer them mazuri lab blocks but they refuse to eat them unless nothing is left Recipe Puffed rice cereal (arrowhead mills) 3/4cup Puffed wheat cereal (arrowhead mills) 1 1/2 cup Sunflower seeds 1 tbsp Regular old fashioned rolled oats 2 tbsp split peas 1/4 cup Banana chips 1 tbsp (yes i know they're fried but freeze-dried is too expensive) Spiral pasta (wacky mac)+ whole wheat pasta (365 daily value) 11 peices Hemp plus granola 3 tbsp Cranberries 1/2 tbsp (my rats don't care for them) Pumpkin seeds 1/8 cup Total cereal 1/4 cup (they really don't care for this) buying all this costs me about $50 and last me aprox. more or less 4 months this is for two girl rats about 1 years old Thank you for the input, on my recipe only!
