So far on my recipe I have:
55% oxbow rat food
10% pasta spirals
10% cereal
5% oats
5% dried shrimp/mealworms
5% seed mix (hemp, pumpkin, linseed)
5% dried veggies

And I also will give them fresh fruits/vegetables 4-5 times a week

I've been just using oxbow and heard about the shunamite diet recently, and was trying to make a recipe with ingredients available in the US. Any and all criticism is highly appreciated!

If you're interested in a Shunamite-style homemade mix, I'd 100% recommend downloading [The Scuttling Gourmet e-books]. They're very affordable. I would not attempt to make a homemade mix without reading them.

Diet is complicated and there are very few people who've really done the research. Isamu Rats is pretty trustworthy. I wouldn't trust Emiology, though.

I was a little conflicted with her since she said some questionable stuff in other videos :/

Her videos are cute and she has some fun info on decorating cages and stuff like that but a rat's dietary needs is a matter of science. I'm even a bit dubious of the whole Shunamite thing in general.
