Someone asked about pellets in the Cuteness forum's thread about Petey.
OK, we have LM Animal Farms Classic Mouse & Rat Food. (basically, it is lab blocks). LM is owned by Hartz now. 22% protein, 5% fat and 5% fiber. The rats eat it. Although they may not love it! This has been around for many years. www.lnt.com/product/rat-mouse/55398/lm-animal-farms-classic-mouse-rat-food-4-lbs.html
Now, we have something new that some people I trust speak well of:
Carefresh Complete, food for mouse & rat. Protein 18%, fiber 10%, fat 4%. It contains mostly smaller pellets than the LM plus some corn and some seeds and very small pellet fragments.
www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3531268
>> This daily diet is fortified and enriched with powerful antioxidants that are critical to your pet's health. Blended with undyed grains to provide the variety that promotes natural foraging behavior.
Ingredients:
Corn, barley, wheat, soybean meal, alfalfa, brewers dried yeast, molasses, sodium bentonite, lignin sulfonate, dl-methionine, l-lysine, vitamin e supplement, l-ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate (a source of stabilized vitamin c), salt, choline chloride, anise, natural and artificial flavors, ferrous sulfate, biotin, yucca schidigera extract, zinc oxide, manganeous oxide, niacinamide, vitamin b12 supplement, rosemary extract, mixed tocopherols, copper sulfate, calcium iodate, beta carotene, vitamin a supplement, calcium pantothenate, sodium selenite, folic acid, riboflavin, pyridoxine hydrochloride, thiamine mononitrate, menadione sodium bisulfite complex (source of vitamin k3), vitamin d3 supplement, cobalt sulfate.
Guaranteed Analysis:

* Crude fat (min) 4.0%
* Moisture (max) 10.0%
* Ash (max) 10.0%
* Omega 3 (min) 0.1% <<
So any opinions are welcome.
So far, the rats seem to eat it.
I am not getting any other kind of lab blocks/pellets; I have enough hassles and do not need mail orders. So please, no other brands. These I can buy locally.
