our rat's diet will be a huge factor in how they function. Not all rat food is made equal. We only recommend a few brands, and will not adopt out rats to adopters who use other food brands as these are the only truly safe ones that we have found.
Oxbow Adult Rat Food (NOT GARDEN SELECT OR YOUNG RAT. Both of those are not dietarily correct for the ages of rats we adopt out.)
Mazuri Rodent Breeder 6f (a bit high on protein, so not great for elderly rats. Not the same as Mazuri Rat & Mouse!!)
Science Select Rat & Mouse
Shunamite Diet
Kalbach 18% Rodent Diet
