Vitakraft Vita Smart Rat and Mouse Food - Complete Nutrition - Premium Fortified Blend with Ancient Grains for Rats, Mice, and Gerbils

Really good rat food

I started feeding this to my mouse in February 2024 and we LOVE it. My mouse is now 2 years and 10 months old and chugging along and foraging several times a day. I've noticed that the quality has been increasingly better, as well, with fewer "pellet" shapes, fewer peanuts, and more grains/ millet. Although mice are fond of peanuts, many are allergic to them and causes excessive itching. I like to remove the peanuts when I transfer this food into a storage container, and for the past few months, I've noticed fewer and fewer peanuts. I'm impressed with how many different ingredients there are, giving an array of things for animals to choose from. I'd looked into making my own dry food with grains, legumes, and millet, but was pleased with this food as a base/ staple. I suggest providing fresh fruits and veggies in addition to this food, since mice are omnivores and need additional nutrition. I use freeze dried salmon bites, milk bones, corn kernels, lentils, flax seeds (in moderation), plain Cheerios, rice, and cooked eggs.

This is one of the few available online foods for gerbils that are well calibrated for their digestive system and needs. We buy only this after reading vets' recommendations and so far in 8 months our cute gerbils look very healthy.

My pet rats really like this food but I wish it didn't have so many small seeds.

My rats love looking for this, I throw it around their cage and play area for them to look around for, I tend to have a basic food pellet always accessible for them, but they don't even seemingly touch it in favor of searching and munching on this. Overall a diverse set of food for them as well. I feed em other stuff as well, but this seemingly is a hit.

Good quality!

After a lot of research I found this to be the easiest to get and it's super healthy for your rats! No unnatural dyes, and got a good balance for their diet, and my babies love it.

Pet rat loves this food!
