What is one of the best diets I can get here in the USA? Are there any diets that can be fed by themselves? Or would I need to mix different foods together do get good GA levels?
Thanks!

It depends what your looking for and where you are sourcing you mice from. If you are getting pet store mice they will have different dietary needs than properly bred mice. Breeders will tell you the best diet for their lines if you can get them straight from a breeder. If you are adopting it is best to stay on the safe side and stay under 14% protein. They other factor is if your looking for a block or if you are looking for seed mix. Many block have very high protein content so be careful with that. I would recommend the science selective mouse or rat food. the fat and fiber are a bit low on both but they should be alright. You could try adding mix-ins to help that. For seed mix there are not a ton of great options, but I was going to try mixing three different ones together. This is the finial result Measurements:
33% Higgins sunburst parakeet (2lb)
33% Sunseed Vita Prima Dwarf (2 lb)
33% Brown’s Tropical Parakeet (2 lb)
Protein 12.5%, Fat 5.5%, Fiber 10% |
