The GEM diet has been a miracle for breeding my mice. Before using the GEM diet I would see small litter numbers and a high number of pup death. I now have larger litter numbers after using the GEM diet and my KO mice are surviving past initial birth. I will continue making purchases of the GEM diet to power my research.

This Diet Gel was perfect for the recovery of my mice after surgeries and for the pups to gain weight after birth. I placed the gel a week before the surgeries for the mice to get used to the taste and smell, and by the time of the surgery, they liked it a lot and were very happy to eat it, helping in their recovery and preventing them from focusing on the stitches. I placed a new gel at the time of the pups’ surgeries, and the mother focused on it instead of the pups’ stitches, greatly improving the outcome and survival of the pups after surgery. Great product!
