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

Hi, I have three adult Purebred American Staffordshire Terriers what would you say is the best affordable Dry food for them?
I have an 8 year old female Min Pin / Rat Terrier mix who is about 6 lbs over weight. She’s currently on Hills Science Diet Youthful Vitality, but her vet said she should be on a grain less low calorie food. What do you suggest? I’d like to keep it in the Hills line if possible, unless they don’t have that kind of option. Thank you.
Hello our pet rat is sick and her teeth grew to long. We trimmed them, but now she is not eating. She was esting soft foods and baby food. Thanks for your help!
I have a 9 week old male golden retriever, mom is 50lbs, dad is 58lbs and the breeder has him on Purina Puppy, which I want to change him off of as fast as possible. Out of the three, which BB food is best? 1)Freedom Puppy Chicken Recipe Grain-Free Dry Dog Food 2)Life Protection Chicken & Rice Puppy or 3)Life Protection Chicken & Rice Puppy Large Breed?
Is the product Rat X really safe for pets? I don't see how it can kills rats and mice, but not kill my pets. Active ingredients: corn gluten meal 55%, sodium chloride 2%. Inert ingredients: Maltodextrin, sorbitol, wheat flour, wheat germ oil
My cat has been to the vet twice for vomiting. It is most likely that she has IBD. The vet has prescribed Royal Canin Selected Protein Duck, but kitty wont eat it. I found Natural Balance Limited Ingredient Diet Duck and Green Pea, which she likes better. Is this food a good alternative to Royal Canin? I just want her to eat. She keeps losing weight
