What are the ingredients Daisy? All it says on the Allen & Page website is that it contains linseed and soya, both of which are fine for mice, but we need to know what else is in there!
Thinking about mixing my own food

mark your thread is well and truly hi-jacked sorry!!! 
hey guys if ya thinking of mixing ya own.. recently got told about this myself.. http://www.ratrations.com.. some have probably already come across it.,. but prices seem fair for basemixes, complete mixes mealies etc.. so have a butchers.
cant collect a mouse mix from shows or wigston so think ill have to stick to using the rat mixes as a base and add other things... but have been reading up another website and loads of people, breeders of show mice etc have recommended using it.But i guess its each to their own.
i just go to my local pet shop and ask have u got any mouse food and then they say yes or no if they say yes then there you go and its mostly cheep because i will get about 3bags 4 £5 and it will last about 2 months,xx
I like to make my mouses 'mouse biscuits'. It's a mixture of powdered rice and oats (baby food), wet baby food, and a mixture of rolled oats, dog food, and seeds. Then I just bake them in little clumps, and toss one into each of my mouse cages.
You can also add egg to these, which is good for preggo mice.

i have started removing the green orange and brown biscuits from the feeds which generally end up on the floor anyway. the mice seem more inclined to sit in their bowls and eat now.. .. they get fresh veg every few days and scrambled egg and chicken a couple of times a week which gets polished off big time... have also started adding rolled oats quinoa, and cut up dates.So once all this mix n match is used up ill be ordering the growth and reproduction mix from ratrations with mixed insects and see how they go with that...
