Kaytee Fiesta Mouse And Rat Food, 2-Lb

Please use this food as a treat only. This is not a nutritionally complete food. 80% of a rats’ diet should be a nutritionally complete lab block like Oxbow Essentials or Mazuri. 15% of their diet should be fresh foods and 5% can be treats.

My rats know this food container as their treat bin and they love to pick and choose their favorite pieces out. I give it very sparingly. I recommend this food as a supplement to their lab block for treat purposes.

Yes. Good. This food was tasty. Our favorite bit is the peanuts. We do not receive enough peanuts though. There are two of us and sometimes we only get one peanut in a day and that is not fair. We recommend more peanuts per bag. Also, we like sunflower seeds and think there should be more sunflower seeds. We have discussed it and do not really care for the pellet things or the tiny seeds, so if we could get less of that in the future, that would be great. Right now, we bury it in the corner of our cage. If we ever stop receiving the food, we might consider eating it, so it’s nice to know it’s there at least.

Our main complaint is with the delivery. Once a day, a giant hand comes down from the sky, startling us, and drops our seeds in the seed corner. It is very frightening. Sometimes, the human-monster stands there and stares at us for a bit so it is not even safe for us to go and eat our new seeds. The human-monster also regularly steals our water for 3-5 minutes and we are never sure if we will get it back or not. We realize that you, makers of the food, may not be in control of the human-monster, but if she is in your employment, we beg of you: ask her to lay off.

It is especially annoying when, once a week, the human-monster cleans our cage entirely and we lose all of the seeds we had stashed at the bottom of our cage. Yes, sure, they weren’t the GOOD seeds, like the peanuts or the sunflower seeds. But IMAGINE if they were. I doubt the human-monster would even save them for us. She would just toss them like the human-monster she is. If you could devise a way to let us keep our seed stash during our weekly TOTAL HABITAT DISRUPTION it would be greatly appreciated.

To reiterate: more of the good seeds, more permanency of the seed stash, less of the human-monster villainy, and then you would have a perfect product!

Ps: we have heard of a thing called “peanut butter crackers” and would like to try one if you would send us one in our next food bag we would greatly appreciate it.

This small pet food is very nutritious and the bag is large compared to most bags and I’m five for the price. It looks very well variety written and the packaging is very strong. Be careful opening the bag though because it will make a mess if you don’t be careful.

Excellent value, the size of the bag is way better than buying in stores. Smells great, and awesome nutrition for my pet. The appearance and versatility make for easy storage.

They love going through and chewing on their favorite things In the rat food, it even comes with peanuts with the shells still on them that they absolutely love
