I know there are already a few threads discussing similar topics, but I would like some more information....
I have 3 colonies of 1.4 and was trying to grow a few babies up into adults. At the same time, I ran out of food and thought I'd try a dog food and rodent pellet mix as I thought others used. To make a long story short, the mice did not take to the dog food and just spread it around as if they were looking for some REAL food. They also ate 1 of the fuzzy mice and bit a hole in the skin of another.
I was just experimenting with the new food and had only been using it for a day or so. They always have lots of water available and just ate a bunch of carrots, greens and normal food the night before.The dog food I bought was not the most expensive brand, but I read the ingredients and they seemed suitable.
Anyway, what I'd like to know is what type of dog food SHOULD I be buying? Is there a specific brand, grade or ingredient I need? Should I mix it with something else? If anyone could offer me their proven methods, I'd be very thankful.
