I was trying to look for some rat food comparable to Oxbow or HT, and was looking at ZuPreem bird foods which is great but maybe expensive. I was looking at Harrison bird food which is organic but it's super expensive ($125/25lbs), so I started to look at reptile foods and found this from ZooMed.
Also the reason the boys don't get veggies is everday is we don't have veggies in the house everday. On top of that I don't eat veggies that often in fact I normally forget to buy veggies when I go grocery shopping. I'd prefer not to ba hassled over it but I only mentioned it because they could possibly do well with the extra fibre in their diet.
