If I were to supplement a lab block with various seeds, cereals, fruits, vegetables and whatnot, should I still include dog food for protein? What I essentially want to do is create a supplement that is still wholly nutritious (relatively). However, I'm not sure if the dog food would cause there to be too much protein in the mix. The brand I am using has 18% protein. Can I replace it with dried shrimp or something? I recently bought a dehydrator, so I can use that as well. So far, my mix looks like this:
