They bring their own food. I only supply the bedding and fresh vegetables.

I know about the porphyrin as gerbils get that too. I've had a rash of gerbil guests with chronic sore eyes this past summer so have seen a lot of porphyrin recently.

I follow Isamu Rats on Youtube and Rat Care UK on Facebook so I can keep up with the latest advice to give to owners, but I didn't know that about the Science Selective pellets. Is it a very recent change? I read about the mammary tumour issue with other pellets but thought SS were considered about as a good as pellets get (which isn't very good of course).
