Temporarily out of Harlan until my next order in July

Harlan Lab Blocks
Harlan Rodent Diets are vegetarian lab diets developed to be nutritionally complete

Harlan's prices increased with my last order. Due to the price increase plus the use of my own vehicle to pick up my orders, I have had to raise the prices. * I also don't wish to undercut the area rescue, so I am raising prices on the 33lb bags only. Please note that I will donate $ 1.00 from each 33 lb bag purchased at full price to the rat rescue.
I do offer multiple bag discount when purchasing over 5 bags. Prepayment is required. Email for details.

#2014

Teklad Global 14% Protein

*Product Description - 2014 Teklad Global 14% Protein Rodent Maintenance Diet is a fixed formula, nutritionally balanced, non-autoclavable diet containing a minimum of 14% protein and 3.5% fat. Scientific publications report that low fat, low protein diets promote longevity and normal body weight in rodents. (* This diet is also used to promote weight loss in obese rodents. Keep a watch on your normal sized rodents that they don't lose too much weight. If they do you should consider adding additional calories or switch to the #2016 or #2018.) The #2014 does not contain alfalfa or soybean meal, thus minimizing the occurrence of natural phytoestrogens. Absence of animal protein and fish meal eliminates the presence of nitrosamines.

*Ingredients - Wheat middlings, ground wheat, ground corn, corn gluten meal, calcium carbonate, soybean oil, dicalcium phosphate, iodized salt, L-lysine, DLmethionine, choline chloride, niacin, vitamin A acetate, biotin, pyridoxine hydrochloride, thiamine mononitrate, vitamin D3 supplement, folic acid,
menadione sodium bisulfite complex (source of vitamin K activity), vitamin E supplement, vitamin B12 supplement, riboflavin, calcium pantothenate, ferrous sulfate, magnesium oxide, manganous oxide, zinc oxide, copper sulfate, calcium iodate, cobalt carbonate, chromium potassium sulfate.

33 lb bag = $41.00

10 and 5 lb portions = $ 1.25 lb


** I will begin carrying the #2016 if there is interest.

This diet has slightly higher protein and fat than the #2014 so may be a better choice for rats that can't maintain a healthy weight on the #2014. While the #2016 doesn't have as much protein and fat as the #2018, the great benefit of this diet is that it does not contain soybean meal like the #2018.

10 and 5 lb portions = $ 1.25 lb


#2018

Teklad Global 18% Protein
Used for all phases for those people that prefer to use a lower protein than the #8604.

*Product Description - This diet is designed and manufactured with high quality ingredients. The 2018 diet contains a minimum of 18% protein and 5% fat (Metabolizable Energy 3.3 kcal/g
13.7 MJ/kg). It promotes gestation, lactation, and consistent growth of rodents. Absence of animal protein and fish meal eliminates the presence of nitrosamines. Does not contain alfalfa, thus lowering the occurrence of natural phytoestrogens.

*Ingredients - Ground wheat, ground corn, wheat middlings, dehulled soybean meal, corn gluten meal, soybean oil, calcium carbonate, brewers dried yeast, dicalcium phosphate, iodized salt, L-lysine, DL-methionine, choline chloride, niacin, vitamin A acetate, biotin, pyridoxine hydrochloride, thiamine
mononitrate, vitamin D3 supplement, folic acid, menadione sodium bisulfite complex (source of vitamin K activity), vitamin E supplement, vitamin B12 supplement, riboflavin, calcium pantothenate, ferrous sulfate, magnesium oxide, manganous oxide, zinc oxide, copper sulfate, calcium iodate, cobalt carbonate,
