i'm still trying to find a good food for my rat which i can not only afford, but also get out and pick up without needing to make an extra trip. most of what I find are the standard seed, dried fruit and pellet shape mixes that i am fully aware are no good and considering my poor girl grew up on sunflower seeds, dry pasta and puffed rice from the bulk barn before i got her, i think she deserve something nutritious. i picked up this stuff from a belgian brand today while out getting food for the terrarium folk and chems for my fish tank and wanted to get some opinions on it:
Versele-Laga Rat & Mouse Pro
20% crude protein
4% crude fat
5.5% crude fiber
6.5% crude ash
1.1% calcium
0.8% phosphorus
ingredients: cereals, vegetable protein extracts, derivatives of vegetable origin, herbs, seeds, minerals, FOS and yucca-extract.
she also gets lots of fresh fruits and veggies. i learned a lot by keeping herbivores reptiles about nutritional content in vegetables so she gets a good balance. gotta love the power foods: collard and dandelion greens, arugula, chard, kale and squash.
