Product Information

However, as pets, rats are often fed the same diet for an extended period. If that diet includes high amounts of fat, the rat may gain extra body weight and become obese. It can become a serious problem when the rat chooses the fat over other food items, missing out on key vitamins and minerals required for them to thrive. Apart from that, rats eat around 6 times per day. If you and your rat are new to each other this is a good opportunity to speed up taming through some hand feeding. While rats don’t need as much fiber as rabbits or other small pets it’s still beneficial for them. Ingredients A rat and mouse diet that meets the same general requirements (e.g., low calorie, low fat) is a good compromise if you cannot find a good rat specific diet. However, stay away from hamster, gerbil, and other rodent diets as they are not a good substitute. The nutritional requirements in these foods are different, and they usually contain alfalfa which is not very digestible in rats. Growing, energetic, pregnant or nursing rats require higher levels of certain nutrients than adult rats. Mice of all life stages have these higher level needs as well. That’s why Oxbow Essentials Mouse and Young Rat Natural Pet Food Pellets is a nutritionally complete and balanced food that contains optimal protein, fat and energy sources to support those needs.

When it comes to the ingredients of rat food, there is one rule: the more variety the better. Apart from that, there are some other points to consider:

The nutritional value should be the first thing you look at when choosing a new rat food. Which and how much nutrients your pets need is tied to their age, gender, and pregnancy.If you’re looking for a vegetarian option, though, Supreme Petfoods Science Selective Rat Food is also an excellent buy. Worth the slightly higher price tag, its ingredients have a laundry list of positive effects on rats’ long-term health outside of providing a well-balanced meal. However if you’re mainly feeding your rats another base food or supplementing their diet really regularly it’s not a bad choice. You might like to give it a try.

Wheat, oat, and rye contain much phosphorus. Consider this when you choose food for elder rats and keep them at minimum. We suggest you feed them around 5-7 times a day, paying close attention not to overfeed them as their portions (2-3g) look awfully tiny to us humans.
