What food do you Recomend?

I already have TONS of lab blocks for the other rats but I want other stuff also.

Here's a good site that details a homemade rat food dite, so if you look at this you will get an idea of what needs to go into a good dite for your rats. Also it details some other information about nutrition.

What brand of lab blocks do you use, Matt?

 

[Matt]

I think Mazuri, Is that good?

 

[Night]

It's an okay food. Not bad, not too great.

 

[Matt]

Mazuri is all that they sell in bulk where we live.

 

[Matt]

Besides the Mazuri food that i currently have, what should i feed him?

Also, can they have baby food?
(for training)

Just because that is the only one that sells in bulk in your area doesn't mean you can't contact the food places themselves, and get it bulk direct from the supplier. In some cases this is even cheaper then buying bulk from pet stores or other places like it...here is some information from ratsrule.com about some other options for feeding your rats.

I have never tried this brand, so I can't comment.

Hope this helps you out, and that you can tell your parents to maybe get your rats on better food.

Harlan Teklad is the best lab block around, and can be purchased in bulk extremely cheap.

L/M Animal Farms and other pet store brands need to be steered clear of.
