Howdy!
I want to make my own rat mix from now on. I was going to go with Oxbow, but shipping went up recently and now to ship 10 pounds of food it would cost 13 dollars. Fantastic, right?!
So, instead of getting 20 dollars worth of rat food and getting maybe two months out of it, I want to start a project and see if I cant make my own and get enough to freeze back!
So, I've been looking at prices for the things I'm considering and I need to know if these are alright: (also know we'll be giving them veggies too but until I can get a dehydrator these will be in the MAIN mix)
- Rolled oats
-Non-Sweetened Puff cereal
-Pumpkin seeds
-Non flavored/Salted Sunflower seeds
-Cheerios
-Banana and/or Apple chips
-Walnuts (With shells so they have a project)
- And, of course, macaroni noodles.
I'm wanting to keep my budget of 20 dollars. So I may add/subtract things
But is there anything else I need to give them in their diet?
