Oxbow Essentials Regal Rat Adult Rat Food

Part of this may have been on me, as I didn't fully read the options for when I was choosing rat food for my three rat boys (the smaller bags were becoming a little more costly than I was hoping due to how often they would go through food). When this came in the mail I was beyond shocked to see how large the bag was (the packaging was about a third of my height!). I can almost guarantee you that once you order a 20 lb bag of food for your children, you will be good to go for quite a bit; even my hungry boys didn't go through the first bag and they've been working on it for weeks!

My rats love this food. And the fact that it is such a balanced diet is perfect. I have no trouble getting my rats to eat, they are happy when I feed them Oxbow and even eat it from my hand like treats. The first bag I got did have a large slice through it, causing it to spill out into the box. But I let Chewy know and was sent a new bag.

I had bought this for my rat, she was a bit older and really enjoyed this. I loved that there was no way for her to pick around different pieces and I know she was getting the nutrients she needed. Sadly she passed away before we finished the bag so I gave the rest to a friend. Her coat was super shiny and soft on this food. Would buy again!

all of my rats have been eating oxbow for years, and this huge bag lasts me for months. its super convenient and such a great value seeing as the smaller bags you get at the petstore at $20. i definitely recommend this product.

I bought these as food for my squirrels and later found a different squirrel food that's better. My squirrels loved this food so I fed it as a treat. I do love this brand and line of small pet food. I have used the hamster kind for my hamster and she had a nice coat and was more energized and happy.

This is the best food, not only for rats, but for mice as well. The Oxbow food made for mice has too much protein and every time I fed it, it seemed like their poops were significantly runnier, and their tummies were always bloated. Not on this food! I also feed treats like seeds and oats, but this is their staple everyday food. I also like the triangle shape as opposed to the large blocks, I feel it fits in their little hands better and makes it easier to eat. All 20+ mice I have had have eaten this food.

There are very few brands of complete lab blocks for rats, with less than 16% protein, anymore. This food has 15% and it's definitely worth it. They have made the blocks more palatable and both of my rats love it. I purchased the 20 lb bag and store it in a plastic dog food bin to keep it fresh.

the only lab block I’ll ever feed my boys again, I used to get mazuri but much prefer oxbow. I noticed that mazuri breaks apart much easier & leaves their poops stinky & oily, while oxbow is a solid lab block with no “negative side effects” that I can tell. I bought a 20lb bag this time, for the first time, and it was bigger than expected! if you’re looking to save money, buying in bulk in the better option, so I’d definitely say to buy the 20lb instead of the 6.

I love Oxbow and this rat food is the best. It is a much better deal to get this bag especially if you have more than a couple rats. We have 9 male rats and they all love it. I am so glad Chewy has this for our rats!

better than the big pieces. Mine us to hide the big pieces but now they eat these I don't find them anywhere.
