Bunny Nature RattenDroom Expert is a complete natural rat mix for dwarf rats and pet rats. This food is made without pellets or extrudates, resulting in a true mixed texture in the food bowl.

At DRD, when it comes to rat food, we focus primarily on composition, enjoyment of eating, daily applicability, and foraging behavior. Rats are smart, active animals that enjoy searching, exploring, and investigating their food. This mix fits perfectly with that: you can provide a portion in a food bowl and hide or scatter the rest in the enclosure, so that eating immediately becomes a form of enrichment.

✔ With oat kernels, pumpkin seeds, seeds, vegetables and fruit
✔ Ideal for partially hiding or scattering for foraging fun

Why choose RattenDroom Expert?

Rats are curious omnivores. They use their noses, whiskers, and paws to search for, sort, and investigate food. RattenDroom Expert aligns well with this through various shapes, textures, and scents. This makes mealtime more interesting than just eating from a bowl.

The mix contains a wide combination of grains, flakes, seeds, vegetables, fruit, and insects. The mealworms and buffalo worms provide an animal protein component that suits rats well as omnivores. The pumpkin seeds, oat seeds, millet, quinoa, flaxseed, carrot, bell pepper, beetroot, and apple give the mix extra variety.

Because this food contains no pellets or extrudates, it remains important to adjust the portion carefully and check whether the mix is being eaten properly. Many owners actually appreciate this: you can clearly see what you are feeding and can use the food for enrichment at the same time.

For which animals is this food suitable?

• Dwarf rat: suitable as a complete daily rat food. Dwarf rats basically eat the same type of food as pet rats, but usually receive a smaller portion appropriate for their size.
• Rat: suitable as a complete daily rat food for pet rats. Give a measured portion and adjust according to age, activity, condition, and what else you offer.

This food is specifically intended for rats and pygmy rats. For mice, dwarf hamsters, hamsters, and gerbils, it is preferable to choose food formulated for those species, as the nutritional needs and portion sizes are different.

Feeding & use

Feed RattenDroom Expert daily as a complete basic food. Adjust the amount based on size, age, activity, and body condition. A practical guideline is approximately 15–25 grams per rat per day. For dwarf rats, the portion may be lower, depending on size and activity.

• Provide a measured daily portion so that you keep a close eye on what is being eaten.
• If desired, divide the portion over two times per day.
• Give some in a food bowl and hide or scatter some in the enclosure.
• Combine with suitable fresh vegetables and small extras as an addition.
• Always ensure clean drinking water.
• Store the mix in a cool, dry, and tightly sealed place.

For extra enrichment, you can hide part of the food in a snuffle mat, treat roll, foraging bowl, or among safe furnishings. This mix also fits well within Ratscaping , as it requires rats to actively search and move for their food.

Compound

Cracked maize, spelt flakes, pea flakes, barley, barley flakes, oat flakes, oat kernels 5.2%, buckwheat, wheat flakes, Plata millet, quinoa seeds, canary seed, shelled pumpkin seeds 3%, puffed amaranth, flaxseed, paprika, carrots, narrow-leaved plantain, alfalfa, silver millet, perilla seeds, beetroot, apple, red millet, calcium carbonate, mealworms 0.5%, buffalo worms 0.4%, wheat semolina bran.

This composition is suitable for a natural rat mix with plenty of variety in shape, scent, and texture. Grains and flakes form the base, seeds and kernels provide extra variety, vegetables and fruit add plant-based variety, and the mealworms and buffalo worms ensure an animal protein component. This makes RattenDroom Expert interesting for both feeding from a bowl and allowing rats to actively forage.

Analysis

Crude protein 14%, crude oils and fats 5.5%, crude fiber 6%, crude ash 5.5%, calcium 0.6%, phosphorus 0.4%.

This analysis corresponds to a complete rat mix for omnivorous animals. The protein content of 14% aligns with the combination of plant-based ingredients and insects. The fat content of 5.5% matches an energy-rich mix with seeds and kernels. The crude fiber of 6% is characteristic of a mix combining grains, flakes, vegetables, fruit, and herbs. As a result, the food is well-suited as a daily base, allowing you to adjust the portion size to the rats in your group.

Switch to RattenDroom Expert

Switch gradually when changing food. Mix the new food with the old food for the first few days and gradually increase the proportion of RattenDroom Expert. This way, your rats get used to the smell, taste, and texture slowly.

• Day 1–2: mix a small amount of new food with the old food.
• Days 3–5: feed approximately half old, half new.
• Days 6–7: mainly new food with a small amount of old food remaining.
• Then switch completely when your rats continue to eat well and their droppings remain normal.

Good to know

RattenDroom Expert is a mixed food. This makes the diet fun, natural, and varied, but it is useful to check the feeding area regularly. This way, you can see if the portion fits well and if the mix is being eaten neatly.

• Give a measured portion and only refill when the feeding area is completely empty.
• Use part of the food as hiding food for an extra challenge.
• Keep extra snacks small so that the basic diet remains well-eaten.
• Store the packaging in a dry, cool, and tightly sealed place.
• Check the smell, color, and texture before offering the food.
