Oxbow Garden Select Small Animal Food Pellets, 2 lb, Mouse & Young Rat, non-GMO

These small animal food pellets are made with non-GMO ingredients, including carrot, spinach, tomato and banana, and come in a 2 lb (907 g) bag. Oxbow makes the pellets for young rats and for mice of any age. Every piece in the bag has the same uniform shape, and the food contains no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives.

What the uniform pellet shape means at feeding time

The pellets are all the same size and composition, so each one carries the same mix of ingredients as the next. Because the pieces are uniform, a pet cannot pick out one component and leave the rest behind, which the manufacturer describes as removing selective eating from the bowl.

Each serving is formulated to contain protein, fat, calcium, vitamins and minerals. The food also lists prebiotics and chelated minerals among its special features, and banana appears as a named special ingredient. The manufacturer states that the recipe was developed with veterinarians and nutritionists and that the food is made in the USA.

Which animals the bag is meant for

The manufacturer recommends these pellets for young rats and for mice of all ages. If you keep a mouse, a rat that is still growing, or both, this bag covers that group. The bag holds 907 g (2 lb), or 32 oz, in a single pack.

The food is sold as pellets only, in one 2 lb pack. A buyer keeping adult rats, or a species other than a mouse or a rat, falls outside the recommendation the manufacturer gives for this bag.
