User questions & answers

Question:	Appropriate for vegetarian ratas? Does it have any ingredients derived from meat
Answer:	There is fish meal in it
Question:	What Ingredients are in this food
Answer:	This one is all vegetables. My rat was orphaned with his six siblings (R.I.P.) when he was only a few days old, he's a wild roof rat and doesn't like meats whatsoever. We tried. Lol He only eats fruits and veggies, so I give him this food. Oxbow has been the best brand of rat foods to get and will actually be enjoyed by my rats. Hope this helps. :)

User questions & answers

Question:	Would this be okay for flying squirrels
Answer:	Hi, according to the Amazon link you provided, the web-page shows the package to be TWO POUNDS. Look at the back of the package image, at the UPC code. The weight is clearly printed there according to your linked page. You may want to check your link again, if you feel unsure. Best luck to you.
Question:	Is this mandatory for a hamster (s) diet
Answer:	Yes, but not as a complete diet; it has too much protein. I recommend using Higgins Sunburst hamster food with a few pieces of this mixed in. 1 tablespoon of Higgins every three days.
Question:	Is this one pound or two? The product information says it's only a pound but the description says it's two pounds
Answer:	I’ve had beautiful rats for seven years both born at my house and purchased. There is fish meal in the product but you should not vegetarian your rats if you want them to be healthy. My rats thrive on this brand as adults with shiny fur and have a regular stool. Their lives are short enough without tinkering with the nutrition. You can an ingredient on the back of the package online or at your local pet store that carries the brand. Good luck and enjoy your pets.

User questions & answers

Question:	For adults, is this similar to Oxbow
Answer:	This doesn’t have quite enough protein for a young rat, but if you give an extra source Of it along with this food I’m sure that would give them all they need (Like I give some egg or chicken a couple times a week while they’re younger). I feed my rats this and they are ages 6mo-2yrs and they are all very healthy with shiny coats.

Selective is specially formulated to help keep you pet’s skin and coat in great condition.

But it is what we don’t put in to Selective that is important too…

Have you checked the label on your rats’ food lately? Take a look, because some rat foods contain molasses or syrup or other sugary ingredients. This extra sugar in a rat’s diet can lead to overeating and obesity. It can also lead to dental problems too.

Feeding Your Rats

Rats are omnivorous requiring both plant and protein food sources in their diets, and specially formulated diets help to meet those nutritional requirements. Rats need feeding twice a day, (in the morning and in the evening). Give only what can be eaten and check for stale food that they may have stashed away.

Experts in Small Pets

A good quality, heavy, earthenware bowl keeps food dry and clean and prevents Rats from tipping the food. Bowls must be cleaned after every use.

To find out more about high quality, nutritionally complete Rat food head over to www.supremepetfoods.com and ask the experts.

Changing your rats diet

If you’re changing your Rat’s diet, it’s vital that you introduce the new food gradually. Mix one quarter of the new food with three quarters of the old food on the first day and then gradually increase the new food and decrease the old food over a 10-day period. You can also feed treats such as fruit and vegetables including carrots and sultanas and occasionally some cooked eggs, meat and fish.

A guide to the vegetables and other foods that are safe to feed to your rabbits and other small pets.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you freeze it to stay fresh longer
Answer:	The largest I knew was the 25-lb bag. Hard to imagine selling 50-lb bags (simply too heavy to handle by one person). Anyway, it is relatively cheap by most standards.
Question:	Is anyone feeding this to there adult male rats
Answer:	I use this for squirrels. I’m fairly certain it is the same food.
Question:	I previously was 50lbs, now says 25lb? This was less than a month ago I purchased the 50lbs
Answer:	Good morning, Thank you for your interest in our Selective Rat product, please be advised that; Selective Rat is a high quality single component feed for rats that will prevent selective feeding. It is very similar to the oxbow product, however the protein level of Selective Rat is very slightly lower at 14% which may be more appropriate to some rats as they can be prone to skin conditions related to higher protein diets. Should you have any further questions please do not hesitate to get in touch with [email protected]. Kind regards, Danielle Southgate Supreme Petfoods
Question:	Is this the same food as the 2lb bag of mazuri rat & mouse food
Answer:	Yes, I checked with the manufacturer and they have just renamed the food Selective Rat and Mouse food. The original name was just Selective Rat Food, so you just got one of the packages from before they changed the name.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this ok to give to a hamster? I bought it by mistake, but I'd rather use it than send it back
Answer:	There is no expiration date on the bag, but the product page says to reseal the bag tightly once open and to use the product within 30-45 days. For my two rats, I use this in addition to a kibble-type food so a 4.5lb bag lasts longer than 45 days (bought one on Sept 7 and still have a fair bit left as of this posting) but my little guys don't seem to mind and the peanuts' shells are still crisp and there is no mealiness to the seeds! As a side note, when I was just feeding my two rats this product a 4.5 lb bag was done in about 30 days.
Question:	How is this ok for mice when everything I see says mice can't have raisins
Answer:	I only feed this as a treat for my rats. I wouldn't use it as their only diet.
