Supreme Science Selective Rat and Mouse 1.5kg

Product Information

A rat and mouse diet that meets the same general requirements (e.g., low calorie, low fat) is a good compromise if you cannot find a good rat specific diet. However, stay away from hamster, gerbil, and other rodent diets as they are not a good substitute. The nutritional requirements in these foods are different, and they usually contain alfalfa which is not very digestible in rats.

This food is marketed for rats but honestly, it might be the right choice for hamsters or gerbils, but not for rats. The values of both protein and fiber are too high for rats and the product contains alfalfa and beet pulp. No pro like the price, probiotics, or support of dental health can compensate for the poorly composed ingredients.

We recommend feeding per 24 hours and not at lib as this will help to avoid selective eating. Do not use the food bowls for the whole portion and scatter some pieces in the cage. Can I Give My Rats Some Of My Food? Rats are omnivores, and a balanced diet for your rat generally requires a blend of plant and animal based food sources. Rats tend to favor protein-heavy food sources, so to avoid obesity or other health issues, it’s important to be cognizant of what the sources of protein in your rat diet of choice are. A challenging chew can also help trim and clean your rat’s teeth, all of which is essential for small growing pets. Moreover, Kaytee Forti-Diet Pro Health is rich in natural antioxidants and probiotics that promote healthy digestion for your pet rats. Likewise, it is fortified with DHA and Omega-3 fatty acids that help prevent joint problems, as well as promote eye, heart, and brain health.

If you’re looking for a vegetarian option, though, Supreme Petfoods Science Selective Rat Food is also an excellent buy. Worth the slightly higher price tag, its ingredients have a laundry list of positive effects on rats’ long-term health outside of providing a well-balanced meal. There are some ingredients that are not suitable for rats. These are mainly alfalfa and other sources that contain high levels of fiber. Nutritional variety is an ideal way to add enrichment to your pet’s daily feeding routine. Kaytee Fiesta food is a premium fortified blend of fruits, vegetables, seeds, and grains offering maximum variety, fun, and nutrition for all small animals. With prebiotics and probiotics to support digestive health, Fiesta is formulated with the health and happiness of your pet in mind. At first, you should mix a small amount of SupremePetfoods with your rats’ current food, slowly decreasing the old diet, whilst gradually increasing the quantity of Selective. A sudden change in diet can cause digestive upsets – even when you are changing to a better quality diet – so take care. It is also important to remember that your rats are strong. If you leave food laying around while your rats are out, you can expect it to be dragged off before long. Rats are strong enough to move large pieces of pizza, hot dogs, and even tacos or bean burritos.

Many things affect a rat’s dietary needs. Their specific species, sex, age, exercise, temperature, type of enclosure, water type, and a whole host of other things all affect the foods that your rat needs to eat. Of course, rats that are pregnant or being used for breeding often have higher needs. Usually, these rats need a specific diet. Oxbow’s Essentials – Adult Food is formulated to meet the specific nutritional needs of adult rats. This complete and balanced rat food is low in fat and includes exact levels of key nutrients to support daily function and performance. The uniformity of Essentials – Adult Rat prevents the selective feeding commonly associated with mixes and seed-based diets. Moreover, Kaytee Forti-Diet Pro Health is rich in natural antioxidants and probiotics that promote healthy digestion for your pet rats. Likewise, it is fortified with DHA and Omega-3 fatty acids that help prevent joint problems, as well as promote eye, heart, and brain health. Kaytee Forti-Diet Pro Health has no artificial flavors or colors.The nutritional value might be the first thing you look at when deciding on a rat food. The protein level is lower than in most other brands. While it might be too low for young rats that are still in the growth-phase, a lower protein-level brings some benefits for rats in adult maintenance which starts at about 6 months. Adult rats can get kidney issues from too many proteins and phosphorus. Additionally, high amounts of these often lead to mat fur. And it’s not surprising at all, given that urban rats are famed for surviving on whatever they can find.
