Why choose all-in-one food?

With mixed food, mice and rats may sometimes pick the tastiest pieces out of the food bowl first. The rest is then left behind, making it more difficult to properly assess what your animal is actually consuming. With all-in-one kibble, this is clearer, because every kibble has the same composition.

This makes Complete Rat & Mouse particularly convenient when your pets are picky eaters or when you prefer peace and clarity in the food bowl. You can more easily stick to a fixed daily portion and see more quickly whether the food is being consumed properly.

An all-in-one kibble offers less loose foraging variety than a mixed rat or mouse mix, but that is precisely the advantage here: your animal cannot choose only the richest or tastiest parts. Do you still want more activity around feeding time? Then use part of the daily portion to hide or scatter in the enclosure.

With chicken, cranberry, salmon oil and flaxseed

Mice and rats are omnivores. Therefore, animal ingredients can play a suitable role in their daily diet. Complete Rat & Mouse contains chicken as an animal protein source, as well as egg and egg products in its composition.

The food also contains peas, cranberry, salmon oil, flaxseed, FOS, marigold, yucca, rosemary, and green tea. This creates a complete kibble with a fixed composition, preventing your animal from selecting individual components.

For which animals is Complete Rat & Mouse suitable?

• Mouse: suitable as a complete daily dry food for fancy mice. Mice are social animals; therefore, adjust the amount of food according to the number of animals in the group.
• Dwarf rat: suitable as an all-in-one food for dwarf rats. Because dwarf rats can vary in size and build, pay close attention to the intake, condition, and size of your own animals.
• Rat: suitable as a complete daily diet for pet rats. The pellets are practical when you want to limit selective eating and clearly see what is being eaten.

Are you looking for food for hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, rabbits, chinchillas, or degus? Then it is better to choose a food that suits that animal species and their daily eating pattern.

Feeding & use

The correct amount depends on the animal species, age, activity, condition, and group composition. For mice, we practically calculate with a minimum of 6 grams per mouse per day. For rats, you can use approximately 15 to 20 grams per rat per day as a guideline. Dwarf rats are often below or in between these values, depending on size, build, and activity.

Switch gradually when changing food. Mix the new food with the old food for a few days and gradually increase the proportion of Complete Rat & Mouse. This allows your animals to get used to the smell, taste, and texture of the pellets.

Are you using the pellets for mice or rats in a group? Then make sure that all the animals can eat. Some animals gather food or eat faster than others. By using multiple feeding spots or small portions in different places, you make feeding calmer and more interesting.

Foraging with all-in-one kibble

Complete Rat & Mouse offers less variety in loose pieces than a mixed mix, but you can use the pellets effectively for foraging behavior. For example, hide part of the daily portion in a snuffle mat, cardboard box, foraging tray, or safe play area.

For mice, you can scatter small amounts throughout a dry sniffing zone, between paper, or in a climbing area. For rats and pygmy rats, you can use the pellets in a treat ball, puzzle, egg carton, sniffing mat, or Ratscaping setup. This way, you turn daily feeding into an activity without extra snacks on top of the normal portion.

Composition and analysis

Composition: cereals (40%), vegetable by-products (including beet pulp 3%), vegetables (peas 10%), meat and animal by-products (chicken 4%), fruits (cranberry 4% – dehydrated fruit, percentage equivalent to drying), oils and fats (salmon oil 1%), seeds (linseed 2%), minerals, yeast, egg and egg products, fructo-oligosaccharides (0.3%), marigold, yucca (125 mg/kg), rosemary, green tea.

Analysis: protein 16.0%, fat content 6.5%, crude fiber 4.0%, crude ash 6.0%, calcium 0.6%, phosphorus 0.4%.

This composition is suitable for a complete all-in-one food for mice, dwarf rats, and rats. Due to the consistent kibble composition, the food is particularly useful when you want to limit selective eating and keep daily intake manageable.

Save

Store the kibble in a cool, dry, and dark place. Close the packaging tightly after use to preserve the aroma, taste, and texture as much as possible. Preferably use a sealable storage container if the bag has been open for a longer period.

Choose the packaging that suits the number of animals you have. The 500-gram package is convenient for trial use or when you have few animals. The 2 kg package is more practical if you have multiple rats or mice, or if you use this food daily.

Good to know

Complete Rat & Mouse is an all-in-one dry food. This means you see less loose variety in the bowl, but instead gain more clarity regarding intake. For animals that prefer to choose only their favorite pieces, this can be very pleasant.

Do you want to encourage more natural foraging behavior? Then use a portion of the normal daily ration in a snuffle mat, food ball, foraging tray, or safe setup. For rats, this also fits nicely into a Ratscaping environment with tunnels, paper zones, digging boxes, and various feeding spots.

When keeping groups, pay attention to eating behavior, condition, and distribution. Mice, pygmy rats, and rats may take food or temporarily store it. Therefore, check occasionally to ensure no old stash is being left behind.
