One of my mice has been ill with an URI and is off his feed. I've been offering some pretty odd things to get him to eat and so far his only interest has been my horse's sweet fed mix. Probably because its sweet.
I was reading the ingredients and it honestly looks pretty decent to me. I was thinking of adding a little to my mix if you guys agree. I've been looking for something to bring down my protein a bit. Its at 16% right now if my calculations are right and my fat is about 8%.
Its Blue Seal's Rider textured feed. Here is the ingredients and analysis.
