Basic Rat Food
By SNMR on Jan 2, 2019
This is a good starter food for rats. One should also supplement feeding with vegetables and fruit. Always try to give your rat a variety of foods so they do not get bored.

makes their stool too soft
By Karen on Sep 3, 2018
My rats really like this but it makes their poop so soft that it is messy.. I can normally pick up stray poop and put it in the litter box but this doesn't let me do that and then their poop sticks to their feet and makes a mess.. so won't even finish the bag.. I wish I could use it because I like that it is non-GMO

Rats don’t like it
By Linda on Jul 20, 2018
My rats normally eat Oxbow Adult Essentials, aka Regal Rat, which they all love. I bought this version to try something different. They don’t really like it. They usually hide it right away and don’t eat much, if any, at all. Even when I break the pieces in half, they still hide it. They don’t hide/hoard the regular Oxbow food. I ran out of Regal Rat, and only had this food for 1 day. My hairless rat didn’t touch it, and she was ecstatic when the regular Oxbow came in. For now it’s just supplemental feeding in case they do decide to eat it. Once the bag runs out I probably won’t buy it again.

This Food Has Things In It Rats Can't Digest
By NewRatMom on Sep 1, 2018
Oat grass and Orchard grass. Both are in the very beginning of the ingredients list. Both are things rats can't digest. Please read the ingredients list before you buy food for your pets. The only good Oxbow food for rats in the Regal Rats Adult Rat Formula.

Finally non gmo rat food!
By Organichealthypets on Jun 30, 2018
Disgusted to see all the gmo pet food out there. No wonder so many American pets (and humans) have allergies cancer and tumors... gmos! Finally a non gmo rodent food thank you oxbow and chewy for delivering so fast for no extra charge. As a health guru and animal lover I don't give them anything else, Besides fresh organic fruit and veggies of course. P.s. for rodent owners please look up how to properly care for your potential pet and if you even have to time and money for them they are not easy like everyone thinks!
