Making Rat Food

[ckhs]

A couple of question.....
This is for the Molasses diet
1st, do we cook the pearled barley, millet, and flax seeds?
2nd, Vitamins, Will vita-drops work mixed in with thier food on a dailey basis?
After having gone to several health food and grocery
stores I am very confused, I get conflicting information regarding the amounts of MG, and MCG, pertaining to safe dosage.
My girls get Suebees dry mix as a constant along with fresh fruit and veggies on a daily basis,they also get a pasta,beans,brown rice,veggie recipe i got from the rat pages but i can't remember who's.
What do you guys think,good enough or not?
Your response is greatly appreciated.

I feed just the Suebee's mixture, along with the dog food in it and have Harlan Teklad lab blocks available at all times.  My guys then also get our leftovers from breakfast and dinner.  Then also the occassional yoggie.  I feel that's more than sufficient for them, and they're happy, healthy and uhmmmmm let's just say Mousse lives up to his name!!!

The only thing in the molasses mix I ever cooked was the rice. Everything else went in "as is." And on the vitamins, it sounds to me like you're already giving them an extremely good, well-balanced diet. I'd be inclined to skip the vitamin drops altogether, Honey.  

Kiss your furries for me.
