Question
In your rat mix, how much sunflower seeds, dried cranberries, and nutro lite should I add? you have the amount on everything else and am not quite sure how much to add for an older rat and my 2mo. old. Thanks! Kris

Answer
Hi Kris

I did not make up that recipe, but what I do is just add a few cups of the dog food and a few handufuls of the seeds and cranberries.  If your making a huge batch, I would say 3/4 cup of seeds and 2 cups of cranberries.  The rats will tend to go for the seeds so less is better.
Feed as needed, not on a scheduled feeding. Always keep food available.
