| I would be happier to feed a small weaner rat weighing 30g rather than an adult mouse weighing 30g. In my mind a mouse of that weight would be nearing the end of its life and have very little nutritional value in comparison to the small weaner rat. |

| I agree with your logic there Red, but the adult mouse does seem to have better mineral value. Personally, i might change between them in 10 day intervals for a bit of variety. |

| The first one I think is a bit miss leading as first it doesn't tell you the weight of the rodent so hard to judge what a percentage of something is without knowing its start size. Also with the rats its using a differant scale for most of the mineral values so what may look like a rat is much higher in mineral content could be wrong. Mice its in % rats its in mg/kg so its a physical weight unlike the mice being a percentage. |

I think that might be a typo. The chick section carries on in mg/kg... |

Thats a good link. The values are the same on the mice, rats and chicks as the first link on my post. Shame there are no mineral values. I'd like to know the mineral values of a rabbit or deer...
As to be expected, Calcium (Ca) levels are lower in pinkies and day old chicks. |
