Go onto Ebay and look at item number 334778194103. There's a guy selling original format Vitalin in various sized bags, to suit your needs. Hope this helps.

elmoputney Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 This is the original ingredients, I would have a look and see what ingredients you can find from this list and make your own, you could maybe add some groundbait or whatever to help it bind if required. And just add some other goodies too to make it unique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salokcinnodrog Posted May 18 Report Share Posted May 18 Skinners do some dog foods very close to Vitalin. The one to look out for was Skinners Field and Trial in an orange bag, but annoyingly they have changed their packaging. It is very rich in molasses so sticky. Other than that, try a mix of rolled maize, rolled oats, Layers mash and a ground dry dog food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it this muesli mix? https://www.skinners.co.uk/product/muesli-mix/?_gl=1*tyh59t*_up*MQ..&gclid=Cj0KCQjwxqayBhDFARIsAANWRnSEUhHZN4M5OrSBOyxzjo2DtpzVAia-DNEMXNltS1xopqKp6OjxU0waAiQ0EALw_wcB The orange one is now a biscuit I think.

That looks like the one. Thanks. I actually popped into Gladwells today and completely forgot to look. I was more concerned with picking up mixed pellets and a sack of hemp. elmoputney 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After going through some of my old posts I've just remembered one of my favourite groundbait bases. Go into your local animal feed supplier and look for Molassed Rabbit Mix, there are various brands available, some are more Molassed than others. While it is vegetable based, the molasses is an attractor, and it is a good base if you add flake maize and a few pellets. barry211 and Higham1987 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
