The Krats love this food
By Dadaa on May 20, 2021
My boys were in the high sodium high protein diet before I got them and only had lab block to eat but now I mix this into their food mix I made them and they love it.Their coats are beautiful,their tails are nice, plump, and their eyes are wide and bright.When I refill their food they always come running. However, they still like their fresh fruits and veggies better.

Best food for rats
By SaxyBaby on May 7, 2021
Been using this food for my rats for years. Best quality, ingredient, and guaranteed analysis of any rat food on the market. My rats have kept healthy. Its affordable too, especially when you order the 20 lb bags.

Great Food
By Sammy on Apr 9, 2021
I noticed my rats started to drop weight on Maruzi and they were honestly stashing more than eating. So we decided to switch to Oxbow. They have gone crazy for it, and everyone is back up to their weight they should be. It’s also way less powder than other foods I’ve tried.

WAY bigger than I was expecting!
By Ratperson on Feb 12, 2021
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!

Great Quality

This is honestly one of the best rat foods you can buy. A bag lasts a good while and my rats loved it.

Rats love it
By Shelly on Jan 29, 2021
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.

Rat loved this!
By MKDean on Jan 20, 2021 top250Contributor
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!

Healthy rat food
By Gracie on Jan 18, 2021
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.

All of my mice eat this food!
By flyffykittens on Dec 16, 2020
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.
