About This Item
Details
- This product has been formulated with guidance by a combined team of professionals with experience in laboratory animal science, zoo and wildlife nutrition. Members include a leading nutritionist with 25 years of expertise in laboratory animal science, formerly with the National Institutes of Health and a member of National Research Council committees.
- This is a nutritionally balanced feed, designed to increase the longevity and well-being of the pet rat.
- Research has shown that animals in the adult stage of life require lower levels of certain nutrients. Foods high in fat reduce the rat's ability to control energy consumption, resulting in obesity. Regal Rat - Adult Rat Food is a low fat diet designed to meet the nutritional needs of adult rats without life threatening obesity.
- Made to be a complete kibble that prevents selective feeding behaviors that are commonly associated with seed-based diets.
- Perfectly made as a specialty feed, with a taste they will love, designed exclusively for your adult rat's nutritional needs.

15 Customer Questions
How long on average would the 20lb bag last with one rat?
Answer by • Jul 16, 2019
The length of time a bag will last can vary greatly depending on the individual rat(s) and what other supplemental food or treats are added to their diet. Most rats should have unlimited access to Regal Rat - Adult Rat Food. Environmental and genetic differences in rats may affect individual nutritional needs and the volume of feed may have to be decreased in rats prone to obesity. For a complete feeding management plan consult with an exotic animal veterinarian.

Does this provide dental wear?
Answer by • Dec 14, 2019
Although this rat food is not specifically formulated to wear down teeth, pet parents have reported that the hardness of the pellets can aid in keeping them filed down.
I've ordered this food several times now for my rats. when I recieved the my order today i found the pieces to be smaller from the past.. has oxbow changed the sizing?
Answer by • Jan 10, 2021
There have not been any product formula changes to the Oxbow Essentials Adult Rat formula. Oxbow products go through a rigorous quality protocol before being packaged, including multiple visual inspections along with nutritional testing of the product to ensure each lot is safe and meets the nutritional needs of the pets they serve. The slight visual differences seen with the product are likely a result of the product being packaged on two different machine lines, in which individual machine calibrations may produce minute variations in shape of the product.
