Healthy and Tasty Rat Food
By RatQueen on Sep 19, 2020
I've been feeding Oxbow to my rats for many years and they have all loved it. They always eat what they need and then stash the rest away for later in their little hiding places. This food helps keep rats active and healthy for their entire lives, I highly recommend Oxbow to all rat owners!

2 bags came cut
By Food on Sep 16, 2020
I've never had a problem with the food before it's more so chewy but now I get not one but two bags and both came cut. When it comes to your pet food you don't want it coming damaged because who knows what could get in to it or how much has fallen out.

Best Rat Food
By DogMom1988 on Sep 5, 2020
I’ve been feeding Oxbow Rat food for about 6 years now and all of my rats love it and thrive on it. It’s nutritionally complete for adult rats and mine prefer it over Mazuri. I LOVE that they offer the giant bag, which is a much better deal than the tiny bag.

I have 3 young female rats, Clover, Fairy, and Bumble, and they LOVE this food. They act like it’s a treat! Also, it has everything they need to stay healthy. Be sure to supplement with some fruits and veggies, my rat’s favorites are cucumbers, blueberries, and apple peels!

Best Nutrional Rat Food
By David on Jun 20, 2020
My girls love this product. Whatever they don't eat right away, they will hide for another time. I keep the bag in the freezer, it keeps it fresh and I avoid any outside pest tampering with the bag. This product is highly recommended by breeders and rat lovers alike. Besides my ratties intake of fruits and vegetables, Oxbow Essentials Adult Rat Food is part of their daily diet.

BAD BATCH OF FOOD!!!! HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED!!!
By TheRatExpert on May 12, 2020
This is the first time I’ve written a review on chewy because it’s the first time I’ve ordered from chewy, I have been highly irritated because it took sooooo long to receive my order I placed almost 3 weeks ago and just got it today and to top it all off I ordered not one but two 20lb bags of oxbow essentials for adult rats and I’m pretty sure I got an extremely bad batch because the color of the food is much lighter then it’s supposed to be and also much smaller! Is this why it was on sale? I’m not feeding this to my rats! I spent $80 on poison. My review will not change until I get a replacement of what I paid for!!! Now I’m gonna have to wait another 3 weeks to get more food for my rats by This is the first time I’ve written a review on chewy because it’s the first time I’ve ordered from chewy, I have been highly irritated because it took sooooo long to receive my order I placed almost 3 weeks ago and just got it today and to top it all off I ordered not one but two 20lb bags of oxbow essentials for adult rats and I’m pretty sure I got an extremely bad batch because the color of the food is much lighter then it’s supposed to be and also much smaller!

So I’m not sure I want to purchase food from rat food from chewy anymore! Bad first experience!!!!’ … more

My rats love this food!
By allie on Jun 30, 2020
My 3 boys love this food. They take this food as a treat sometimes because they love it so much. Not that they overeat it, they eat a healthy amount! I tried to switch to Oxbow’s natural version food and they went on a bit of a hunger strike until I gave them this food again. 100/5!

Best food not only for rats, but mice too!
By MeganM0620 on May 12, 2020
I own 3 mice, all of whom eat this food. The Oxbow Young Rat and Mouse had too much protein for my girls (and most mice), so I switched to the adult rat version. My girls are healthier than ever. This food files down their teeth and makes sure they get full nutrition since it's not a seed mix. I do give them a seed mix as well, so having a balanced block food item ensures they can't always pick out favorite foods and that they get full nutrition. Highly recommend!
