Hmm my gerbils general mix has 17% protein in? is their a difference between crude protein and just when it says protien? i also add 2 pellets of science selective rat food every ohter day, a pinch of oats and 2 peices of rice or a couple bits of crushed pasta. which im gussing would bring the protein down abit? xx

Adding other bits will bring the protein down a bit, yes.
