My rats really like it. It's healthy for them too. Unfortunately it's not vegan since it contains fish meal and I try to keep my rats on plant protein, so I will soon be switching them onto a homemade mix but if you're not vegan I would recommend. It works super well and is very cheap - 20 pound bag lasts almost a year for my girls and is only $36. FOR A YEAR OF FOOD!

We have two rats and we had been offering another brand and it would sit in their bowl untouched or they'd pick out a few items they'd like and leave the rest. We did a bit of research and found Oxbow came highly recommended so we gave it a go, and our girls loved it straight away. It's also $5 cheaper on Chewy than it is at our local pet supply store which is certainly a plus!

Both my rats are picky eaters. They will only eat quality rat food. As soon as I put a bowl of this in their cage they started hoarding it and eating it like crazy haha. Plus, for $40 for a 20 pound bag of quality rat food, it is a steal!

Our rats love this food & since starting on Oxbow they look better! They have less wirey hair & grown quite a bit in a short amount of time. No plans to switch foods anytime soon. Glad I found this on Chewy in a large bag size to save money!

My rats absolutely love this food, and it was no trouble at all getting them to switch to this brand. I also really appreciate the quick shipping time, I got a notification that my package had been shipped just hours after I ordered and I was blown away.

One bag lasted me over 3 months for my four rats. When I ran out, I bought a small bag of the old food I used to get for them and they wouldn't even touch it. They love this food and refuse to have any other kind.

I just changed my fancy rat, Lily, to this food after feeding her a seed based diet. She loves it and I know she is eating better now.
