What is good rat food for pet rats?

Good rat food is tailored to rats' eating habits: curious, inquisitive, and eager for variety. In practice, this means a complete base with a broad ingredient profile, allowing you to feed daily without having to constantly change. Little One combines a mixed structure with a comprehensive profile, making it practical for use in your daily routine.

Why Little One is a great base

✔ Complete as a daily basis
Little One is intended as a complete food with vitamins and minerals. It's useful if you're looking for a solid base that you can combine with enrichment (feeding the bowl and partially sprinkling).

✔ Mixed structure for variation
The combination of flakes, grains, pellets, and seeds provides variety in meals. Many rats enjoy searching and "sorting."

✔ With FOS and yucca extract
Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) are often used as a fiber component in feed. Yucca is also frequently used to enhance the scent in the enclosure.

✔ Suitable for foraging & ratscaping
Sprinkle some of the portion in the enclosure or hide it in a sniffing area. Consider combining it with small-portion rat treats for an extra challenge.
