Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Its been several years since I had my own little rodent breeding operation ... but I obtained fifty (50) pound bags from a local pet shop that I sold surplus rodents to. At that time it came in at least two "formulations". You should be able to special order from any local pet shop or feed store and depending on your usage they might agree to keep a bag or two in stock for you.

Nope, no relation. I'm just a Southern California hobbyist who has recently returned to the hobby after a moratorium of a couple years.

Be sure to check the formulation of the feed. You want a high percentage protein (20%+ is my preferance).
I've read numerous reports of people who have switched to lab blocks and the mothers started eating their young.
I use a dye free dog food for my mouse colony with 21% protein. Fifty pounds for $10. Despite the claims of a few, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that, and far more mouse breeders than most realize use it as well.
My mice rarely have litters of less than a dozen and 18 is not uncommon. No problems with eating of the young either.
