you will have to call the number on the site. He said to leave a message and he will call you back. They are still working on the web site, but I was there friday and they have their own feed milled. It was 25% protein 10% fat and he said that it's taken over a year but he finally got the grain / mineral mix right. I bought 2 bags off him and my mice and rats love it. It's also the big fat food that I can put on top of 1/2" hardware cloth.

I used to use lab diet breeder food. But found my rats getting thin and food crazy (and they wern't even breeding at this time! so imagine a pregnant mom!)

So I am/did switch back to ol' roy dog food (bites and bones, no red dyes). They love it, have big healthy liters, keep weight on, And aren't as physco for food (which is good when I lean on top of the cage, I get to keep my fingers!)
