- Aaron,
-
- If the packaging material consists of off-white, rough textured cylindrical
- 'pasta-like' tubes, then they are corn starch based and are water
- soluble. These are intended to help preserve the environment, not feed
- rats! ;-) I'm not sure what the chemical content is, if any, but I would
- keep Templeton on a steady diet of Rat Chow for now if I were you. I'll
- forward this to someone who might know the manufacturers name.
