Hey! I replied to your PM. Just to let you know, my mix is very similar to Subee's just with organic stuff, and a little different.....and my rats seem to do much better on it. You can visit my feeding page here:

AND........while your there check out the rest because it's a new site. Although I am still not finished.


As far as freezing, I usually just keep it in a plastic tub and it stays fresh for awhile. Anything extra I freeze, like bags of unused cereal, pasta etc.


As far as weight loss is concerned, I would be concerned. She is up there in age and I really think a vet visit would be best. She could have a lot of life left in her yet, but I would take her in just to be on the safe side. Sometimes there are illnesses that cannot be detected unless blood work is drawn etc.

Coarse fur comes with old age unfortunately. You can try giving her Nutrical and maybe some kitten food or KMR to add extra calories to her diet. If you want her fur to look better you can give her a little drop of Olive Oil on some bread and it should make her coat more shiney, although it will most likely stay thin.
