Feeding Directions:

Adult Rat Food is intended for adult pet rats over 4 months of age. Most rats should have unlimited access to food. Environmental and genetic differences in rats may affect individual nutritional needs and the volume of feed may have to be decreased in rats prone to obesity. For a complete feeding management plan consult with an exotic animal veterinarian.

Adult Rat Food has been formulated with guidance by a combined team of professionals with experience in laboratory animal science, zoo and wildlife nutrition. Members include a leading nutritionist with 25 years of expertise in laboratory animal science, formerly with the National Institutes of Health and a member of National Research Council committees. The result is a nutritionally balanced feed, designed to increase the longevity and well-being of the pet rat.

Research has shown that animals in the adult stage of life require lower levels of certain nutrients. Foods high in fat reduce the rat's ability to control energy consumption, resulting in obesity. Oxbow Adult Rat Food is a low fat diet designed to meet the nutritional needs of adult rats without life threatening obesity.
