When I bought my boys at Petsmart I was told to buy the Kaytee block, but I've now learned that is not best for them.  I discovered that our local Pet Supplies Plus carries bulk blocks, but I'm not sure which one to buy.  One is labeled "Teklad Rodent Diet 2014 Low Cal" for .99/lb, and the other is labeled "Teklad Rodent Blocks 19% Protein" for 1.49/lb.  Which one of these would be appropriate for my ratty boys (if either)?  Thanks for your help!

I haven't heard of either of those, but Mazuri rat and mouse is very popular here. Smiley

Harlan Teklad is a fantastic food that many of us on this forum feed and recommend!

If your ratty boys are still growing, then they should have the higher protein block.  Once they are finished growing the 14% Protein diet will meet their needs.

Great!  I will buy some of the 19% protein for now then, until my boys are done growing.  Thanks for your help!  Blue Dumbo Smile

So glad you came and asked! Harland Teklad blocks are by far the best.
