If Dan's dry cob is what I think the feed store here sells it as squirrel and deer cob corn. The rolled feed I don't know.
What I do for my hams, gerbils and mice and sparingly for the rats(they eat leftovers and dog kibble much more) is buy a back of Dove seed mix, add sunflower seeds and supplement that with rolled outs from the grocery (cheapest possible). I sort of do a bit of mad scientist feeding. Not very scientific somehow, more by feel.

Thats mostly what I've been trying to do.. I buy a bag of wild bird seed mix.. usually 20 lbs.. add dry dog kibble...Sunflower seeds and cereals like generic cheerios or bran flakes... I was looking into the feed store stuff because it seems somewhat easier and possibly cheaper than what I was doing...

Just walk in, and look at the horse food. 50 pound bags of grain products. Pick one that looks like it's fairly nutritious, and has a mix of grains in it without adding sugar or salt.

Ahhhhhh okay.. I keep trying to ask about it and I'm getting the whole "We don't carry that" thing.. *shrugs*

Ran out to the shed for ya--the brand I have is apparently Nutrena, Premium Cleaned Grains. It was like 7 bucks for a 50 lb bag.

Thank you.. *heh* That should help... not to mention I'll stop in at the feed store when we go that way to grab some stuff anyway... Of course, they should have things like this.. they're like 2 miles from a horse track *laughs* The Feed store is

What I asked for this afternoon was sweet (horse) feed without the molasses. It was 10.50 or so per 50#. Sorry I don't remember the brand. I was picking up rabbit pellets and decide to check after you all have been talking about it.
