Upgrading the Rodents' Diet

Last night I purchased an assortment of organic grains, oats, and nuts from Hyvee and created this hodge-podge mix for the ratty boys.  Almost everything added to the mix is organic and includes:

• Roasted/Unsalted Soy Nuts
• Raw pumpkin seeds (just a few)
• Wild rice mix
• Steele cut oats
• Pearl Barley
• Rolled oats
• Sweet brown rice
• Brown flax seeds
• Just Tropical Treats (dried fruits without sugar added)
• Assorted fresh nuts in the shell

These ingredients were mixed in with the remaining portion of Reggie Rat food and a few Kaytee blocks (not to be purchased again), dry pasta, and three types of Solid Gold dog food (thanks to receiving plenty of sample packs from work!).  And it's a big hit with all of the rats and mice!  

This made a significant batch divided into three air-tight containers for easy storage.  I expect it will last quite a while.

They also receive Harlan Teklad rat lab blocks (purchased from Aqualand Pets Plus) and plenty of fresh veggies and fruits. 

Jimmie also receives Ensure (vanilla flavor) and organic Gerber baby food to help keep his strength up.

This mix is a modified version of the popular Suebee's Rat Diet.
