In Reply to: While we are on the Rodent blocks/ dog food subject.... posted by Kevin Ray on May 09, 2003 at 18:56:37:

i would go out and buy the following things:

50# of black oil sunflower seeds
50# of DRY cob
50# of rolled or whole corn
150# of dogfood

mix it all up in several garbage cans..and you were set.. however.. in a rack system, even using 1/4" mesh you are goin to waste ALOT of food every week.. and i mean ALOT.. they simply pull it thru and you throw away vast amounts of useable food every week.. thats what made me stop feeding mixes..

secondly.. ive never heard of mice going cannibalistic when fed only lab blocks.. i raised thousands of feeder mice and rats on labblocks for several years and never had them go cannibal on me.. thats a MYTH..

best of luck
