Do rats like this? Mine hardly touch their oxbow adult rat food and I’m looking for a food they will actually eat.

My rats love it. And I know this brand is trusted for laboratory animals for its nutritional value. I won't buy anything else my guys. :)

Is this suitable for mice? If not, does Envigo make a similar quality mouse food?

It's suitable for mice in the sense that they can definitely eat it regardless of the size of the pellet. They simply gnaw off a suitable piece. I am not familiar with the exact dietary needs for mice. I know plenty of people who use this or the 8604 for their mice but I maintain rats and am most knowledgeable about their needs. When I have had mice in the past, I've used the 2018 or 8604. Hope that helps. Diane

How long does a pound of this last for 1 rat?

The typical rough estimate is 1 pound of food per rat per month. This will vary depending on your rat's age, health, activity level, and other foods that you are feeding.

For a growing squirrel, how many of these per day?

We had rats...a lot of them....we fed them separately....each got about a half a cup twice a day. I would recommend 1 cup a day until it grows bigger and adjust for the size. It's good healthy food. Good luck
