What is your favorite source for lab block food for rodents? I'm curious to see if it's cheepest to order from online, or buy from a feed store, or whatever. I want to be able to buy in bulk at the cheepest rate I can as long as I don't have to store more than about 200 pound of it... lol! Thanks!

Feed store.
Find a local feed store that deals with the makers of the brand you want and get them to order it for you.
For instance:
I use Mazuri Rodent Breeder 6F 5M30. Purina makes or owns Mazuri.
One feed store had to special order it for me & each order took about 2 weeks to get. I finally found another store whose's supplier stocked what I wanted so it's not a special order. After taxes = $20 per 50lb bag. I call on Turesday and it's there on Friday.
Have a good one!

You definitely will not find it cheaply online. Shipping will be extreme, probably more than the cost of the blocks themselves.
I get Harlan 2018 at a local reptile/animal show, $13 for 33 lbs.
Local feed store sells LabDiet 5L42 20% protien , $23 for 50 lbs.
Buying from a feeder breeder at a reptile show or getting it from a local feed store will probably be your best price. Any Purina dealer should be able to order Mazuri 6F lab block for around $20 per 50 lbs.
