Questions
I am currently using the Oxbow mouse and young rat food. They are almost 4 months old. When should I switch to using this one?
- I’d say to start transitioning them over to the adult food now. 4 months is usually the age they recommend for the adult food.
Helpful?
Do they have it in stores?
- They carry the 3lb bag in stores. The 20lb bag you have to buy online. I definitely recommend the 20lb bag as it lasted me months with four rats.
Helpful?
How much to feed?
- Keep a small bowl full at all times. Rats will pretty much self regulate....they have a high metabolism, and need food available all the time, though they eat mostly during the night.
Helpful?
How much to feed an adult rat?
- I don't know of any "rule" but typically a rat will eat about 1 lb of food a month or about 1/2 oz daily.
Helpful?
Is the 20lbs bag resealable like the 3lbs bag?
- Yes, it is resealable.
Helpful?
can you feed this to mice?
- just rats.....mice and rats have different food needs. Oxbow makes a food for mice.
Helpful?
What...
- I don't quite understand the question because of the way it is set up, but there aren't any apples in this product. It just has a fresh kibble smell that doesn't reek of protein and byproducts like most marketed pet foods are. Anyway, this is the ONLY food for mice and rats I recommend besides Harlan Teklad. Feel good knowing that you are giving them some of the best out there! Just don't forget to supplement appropriate fresh foods to keep their little bodies healthy!
Helpful?
How...
- Yes, it's still apple flavored with a crude fat content of 4%.
Helpful?
HOW LONG.......
- it's a 20 pound bag.....I have 16 rats right now, and it lasts me about 2 and 1/2 months. I keep it in their bowls all the time.
Helpful?
is oxbow...
- Thank you for your question. We did check with Oxbow on this inquiry. They had informed us that at this time, they do not offer an organic rat food. However, they will take this request into consideration. ajl

I have a pet rat and I have tried many different wood stick chewing products. She will chew on them only when they are fresh and she only chews very little. Her main diet is Higgins Sunburst Rat and Mouse food which has hard nuts and other foods. Will that be enough to keep her teeth trimmed down? Do you have any suggestions? She tends to be a little picky.
What should I look for in a rat food. I feed my rats salads with different types of food but they do get rat food some times when I feel like they need food that is going to fit there needs exactly. what type of brand to you think is the best too?
Hey, I got the Kaytee Gourmet variety diet fiesta mix for rats and mice, is this food okay for my hamster? Hope to hear back soon and thanks

What would be the best wet dog food for her weighing 3.3 lbs. 4 years and has Periodontal desease? And can I purchase at Petco or Petsmart? Thank you
My rat gave birth to 9 babies who are now about 3 weeks old. She always seems hungry and the pups are eating solid food. I was wondering how much food I should be giving to them. I was also wondering if uncooked macaroni is healthy for them.
Hello, I was wondering what would be the best food for pet mice when they are fat. His current food is: Daily blend wild harvest, his previous food was: vita prima rat mouse and gerbil formula.
How much veggie and pellets should i feed my 3 month mini lop
Hi, I have three adult Purebred American Staffordshire Terriers what would you say is the best affordable Dry food for them?
My 3 year old male cat 12-13 lbs and healthy. I feed him wet canned food, approx. 1.5 oz 3 times a day. I also leave dry food out for him. He devours the cat food fresh from the can in the morning, but tends toward the dry food as the day goes on. He does not show much interest in the "old" canned food which may have been refrigerated for 6-10 hours. Long story not so short. What dry food do you recommend?
