Pellet Vendors
Vulintus pellet dispensers use standard 45 mg (rat) or 20 mg (mouse) food pellets, available from these companies:
We recommend their "Dustless Precision Pellets". The grain-based or purified varieties are best for animals receiving the majority of their food from behavioral tasks.
Purina LabDiet's 5TUL tablets (available in 20 mg and 45 mg) and 5TUM tablets (available only in 45 mg) are compatible with our dispensers, and both have full-nutritional profiles suitable for animals receiving the majority of their food from behavioral tasks. Their 5TUT sucrose tablets (available only in 45 mg) are also compatible with our dispensers, but should not be used as a sole food source. LabDiet is sold through regional distributors (find yours here).
