You have to check the amount of protein and also the amount of fats. Make sure they are similar to rodent food. Also make sure the pellets are non-medicated. I have used them for rats. I also have a friend that has been using them for years and he always seems to have tons of rats. The pellets are also harder.

I does not need to be exact but shoot for 16% Protein, 7% Fat, and 10% Fiber. That will get you in the ball park.
