Hello, I have seen that a lot of people have been using dog food or pig food for their rodents, since a lot of time ago, and having no problems with their rodents. I am currently using pig breeder pellets for my rats, mice and hamsters. I am worried about the quality of the rodents that I am breeding, mostly because my retic is eating really a lot and really often (like any healthy young tic), so shuold I be worried about the healt of my retic, due to the kind diet that I am using for the rats that she eats?
THANKS

If the feeders are doing well and look healthy I wouldnt worry about the snake that is eating them. If the Retic is doing well, growing and looks good he probably is good. The only thing I would worry about is if the rodents dont look good or thrive which might indicate some sort of lack.

Must be nice to have money you just really don't have a use for...
What exactly are you going to examine for?
