Pros and cons of kibble and pelleted rodent foods:
Pros:
Convenient
Proven to provide complete nutrition to pets
If kept in proper storage places, will not spoil easily
Cons:
Too little diversity
Dog and cat food is often grain based
Not fresh
May get moldy
Unlike homemade foods, you don't know the quality of the ingredients
If you plan to feed your pet kibble or pelleted foods with hay for every meal they have, use a high quality brand. Brands like Oxbow, Orijen and Acana make good choices. Orijen also has a freeze dried raw formula for more freshness but you have to add water to it. Another quality freeze-dried product is a brand called Woof.
What I do:
Acana kibble makes up the majority of my dog's diet. I also feed her Woof as toppings and treats.
Oxbow hay and pellets make up half of my guinea pig's diet. We feed her fresh romaine lettuce, carrots, and apple for some quality fresh food.
