Let's chat about food. For me personally with the rattery I find its more economical for me to bulk buy the rats food and make it myself. This is where I follow the Scumaite diet. I currently use the proportions of:
- Base mix = 55% (Large Pea Rabbit, Goat conditioning mix and Horse conditioning cubes)
- Processed Grains = 20% (Puffed Rice, Pearl Barley, Bran Flakes and Wholegrain Fuseli)
- Protein = 10% (Harringtons Salmon dog food)
- Dried herbs, veg and fruit = 10% (Beetroot, Parsnip, Garlic, Mint, Basil, Carrot, Banana Chips, Apple cubes)
- Seeds = 5% (Wild Bird seed)
I tend to bulk buy most of what I need from my local equestrian feed shops but I do also use Amazon and RatRations for the bits I can't access as easy as well as their supplements.
