What role does fortified food play in the overall nutrition of rats?

Your rat requires daily amounts of essential nutrients to stay healthy and happy. Essentials Adult Rat contains 100% of your rat’s daily recommended vitamins and minerals to support whole body health.

I currently feed a mix. Why is it important to provide uniform nutrition to rats?

Rats are wired to selectively eat the highest calorie, least nutritious options first. Uniform foods prevent rats from selectively feeding, ensuring they receive 100% of their daily recommended nutrition.

What makes Oxbow Essentials Adult Rat special?

Essentials Adult Rat is formulated with the guidance of leading exotics veterinarians and nutritionists to deliver expertly balanced amounts of protein, fat, and carbohydrates, with antioxidants and prebiotics to support whole body health.

What is the shelf-life of Essentials Adult Rat?

Essentials Adult Rat has a guaranteed shelf life of 2 years unopened. We recommend storing this product in a dry, climate-controlled area away from direct sunlight and using within 60 days of opening.

What is the recommended transition plan when switching to Oxbow Essentials Adult Rat?

Transition gradually when switching your rat's food. Week 1, mix 3 parts current food with 1 part new. Week 2, mix 2 parts current food with 2 parts new. Week 3, mix 1 part current food with 3 parts new. Week four, feed Oxbow exclusively.
