Highlighted Reviews

— Chase

"Rats cant digest alfalfa which will lead to a slow death as they cant pass it properly and their body will give up. Please dont feed this to them. Even if yours are doing fine now, this WILL shorten their life span."

Bottom Line

Favorable for most users, but caregivers of rats should avoid due to the presence of alfalfa. The food sees its greatest value as filler or feeder.
