I have been after some of this dog food to feed my rat colony but have been unable to get any from local suppiers. I bought a 15kg sack of normal dog biscuits thinking they would be ok, got home only to find that the majority of biscuits fall straight through the mesh into the cage causing waste   . Does anybody have any contact details for a supplier where I could get some of this dog food from?.

Cheers John  , Have you noticed a difference between the silver and gold then in terms of health and production?

you shouldn't really see a big difference between the two brands, I'd use the cheaper of the two (or which ever doesn't fall between the bars  )

I've been recommending this diet for a few years now and the fact they don't waste it is one of the biggest advantages of using it.

it is a good food source thats for sure and cheap as chips too,i think i pay 5.75 per 15 kg sack and im sure it would be cheaper if you bought a lot more.by the way my mice used to gnaw and not knaw i knew that word didnt look right top product though

Got a bag of Gold today, put it on the mesh in my rack and the rats instantly started to nibble at it and pull bits down. Gold was only a quid cheaper so went for that and so far they seem to like it. Also it doesn't fall through the mesh, which is a bonus .
