Mouse Diet 5015

Has anyone tried this? From what I've read its supposed to provide optimum nutrition for females that are simulatenously lactacting and gestating, and allow for larger litters. Just wondering if its one of those foods that they won't actually like to eat very much, or if its as good as they make out?

Yup, I used it for over a decade...used to be made by Purina checkers, now its Richmond standard...
It's good stuff , I guess but its alot more expensive than Mazuri 6F.
I switched to the cheaper Mazuri and didn't notice any significant difference in yield.. It even looks the same.
5015 is probably slightly overkill for herp feed. It might be more for medical mice. The stuff is even autoclavable, and we don't need that.
I used to buy it because there were no other choices. If you can get both, try them both and make your own decision
