I'm trying to factor out all my costs for building a breeding colony. I have found a half-way decent food that I will supplement with fresh foods and a home-made mix. Of course I'm trying to figure out the cost of feeding these rats.
What is the daily food requirement of a full grown, breeding rat, in grams. Its easy to just take a scoop of food and put it in their enclosure and just add food when needed but I'm really OCD and I like to know exactly how much they need, how much I will need to buy, etc.
I read once that the average mouse takes in about 7g of food per day. I'm not sure if this was correct but I'd really like to know how much a full grown breeding mouse should eat in one day, in grams, given that the mouse is around 30-40g.
