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

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
Hi, I have three adult Purebred American Staffordshire Terriers what would you say is the best affordable Dry food for them?
I have a shih-con pup that has been getting feed Purina Puppy Chow. I get her in the next three weeks and need to know a good brand of dry food I need to get her started on?
We have 1 1/2yr old Ragdoll female. At a steady 8.6 pounds/small frame. Area in front of back legs seems a little skinny. A couple of internet sites seems to suggest IAMS Proactive Health, Healthy Kittens is ok for adults to gain weight in view of it's extra protein and fat. Is that ok for 8.6 lb female.
Royal canin or earthborn?? Thos are the choices i can buy from now
Hi, I need of advice for my 3 yr old dog. Before I moved she ate Purina Dog Chow Tender & Crunchy. When I moved across the country she stayed back home with my boss eating Natural Balance duck and potato. Now that I've moved her with me she hasn't been eating kibble. This includes Rachael Ray's brand, natural balance, etc. She did eat a little wet food but I'm not sure if it's a good option. Should I should feed her strictly wet food or just cook (rice, Turkey, liver, eggs, veggies, etc)??
Our 1 1/2 year old female ragdoll feline started loosing patches of fur for last 2 weeks. No scabs/raw spots on skin. Vetinarian concludes not fleas or ringworm. No known environmental changes or new house products. Now starting Royal Canin Hydrolyzed Protein Adult HP for 2-3 weeks in case it's food allergies. It's $50 for 7.7 lbs. Is there a less expensive equivalent Purina or other brand?? Thanks from Florida.
