Mazori rat blocks?

Does anyone know where I can get these in large bags? The stores around me only carry small bags and they're fairly expensive

Local farmer feed stores can order them. Mazuri has 3 types for rodents. No. 3,6, and 9 I believe. I pay $17 for a 50lbs bag of number 6, which they carry in stock and about $26 for 50 lbs for number 9, that needs to be ordered. If you purchase them regularly, I believe they will carry whatever you want.

If you go to mazuri web site you may be able to find a dealer near you.

The only difference between the 6F and the 9F (that I'm aware of) is the fat content. As the naming indicates, the 6F is 6% fat, and the 9F is 9% fat.

Here is a link to all of Mazuri's rodent products:

On their site you will be able to find the nutritional content for all of their products.

As for your question, either the 6F or the 9F would serve you well. I have been using the 6F, but that's simply because it is what my vendor has been carrying. If you were breeding your females really heavily, then the 9F might be better, but I'm not sure that it really makes all that much difference.

Your best bet is to try a feed/farm store that carries purina brand foods since mazuri is part of purina. They usually are able to special order the mazuri line with little difficulty since they already stock purina products. Some petstores will be nice and special order for you too, but are likely to give a much higher markup than a feed store.

Fairly recently, it became possible to order some of the rodent block formulas directly from mazuri's website and have them shipped to your house. Shipping cost is a pain though. Example: I bought a 25 lb bag of the 5663 rodent formula - $17 for the blocks and $15 for shipping (the local petsmart refused to order me a 25lb bags even though they stocked the 2 lb bags in their store!) While shipping can be a bit killer, it can still be well worth it in the long run in some instances. It certainly is a great alternative for emergencies or when you absolutely cannot find a local distributor.
