Why is Nature Rat so suitable for many rats?

Rats are omnivores and often thrive on a diet with multiple components: different textures, smells, and flavors. Nature Rat complements this with a broad mix and an animal protein source (mealworms). Weighing the portion keeps the menu manageable and makes it easier to track what's actually being eaten.

Feeding & use

Guideline: 15–20 g per rat per day (depending on size, age, and activity). Preferably divide the feeding into two feeding sessions, especially if you keep multiple rats together.

• Fresh drinking water daily

• When changing food: switch gradually
• Store in a cool, dark and dry place and close the bag well after opening.
