For anybody in/near Northern VA... (Rodent food query)

I'm not sure I trust the whole dog food thing for my feeder/breeder rodents... I want them to be as healthy as possible so they require as little work as possible in the end.

Where do people in Northern VA find their rodent food? I'm looking for some type of cheap bulk lab block (Mazuri/Teklad/Kent/Whatever). If you could post prices and retailers that would be great

Thanks!
Mike

Yeah, and avoid feeding dog food at all costs.

I have them on dog food now due to uninformed advice and I'm looking around now to do it right. It's funny, you can learn and know so much about a creature as complicated as a reptile and end up relatively clueless about something as simple as a rodent!
