Mazuri Rat & Mouse Diet

As a former elected board member of one of the largest mouse breeding and show communities, I take my rodent nutrition very seriously. Enter Mazuri Rat & Mouse Diet—the gold standard in mouse cuisine. If my mice could write a Yelp review, they'd be giving these lab blocks a Michelin star. Let’s talk protein and fat content. These blocks are more on point than a vegan chef at a quinoa convention. It’s like the mouse food equivalent of a protein shake and a Sunday roast had a baby. These blocks have the right balance, ensuring your rodents get the nutrition they need without leaving them feeling like they just attended an all-you-can-eat pizza buffet. Now, let’s talk price. If you’re looking for a bargain, look no further. The cost-to-quantity ratio is so good, I started wondering if they were giving me a discount because they heard about my impressive rodent breeding résumé. It’s a solid product at a solid price. You won’t break the bank feeding your furry friends, and your mice will be eating like royalty (without the tiny crown, though). If you want a healthy, happy mouse that won’t start a protest for better food, I fully endorse this lab block. Five stars for being the unsung hero of small mammal nutrition and keeping the furry crowd both fed and fabulous.

Good product

My fancy rat is a dumbo eared dwarf rex coat, she is adorable and so I would never give her anything less than mazuri. It's 80 percent of her diet, and it's the most complete nutrition for her. I also give her ox bow essentials but it's only 25 percent of her daily intake. She is happy and healthy

I am a wildlife rehabber and feed the baby squirrels I have in my care this food as a staple. It is the best and has all the nutrients that these babies need. My rescued mice also love it.

Good food for pet rats, they love it. A lot of fall out though and lots of crumbs left over that will mix in with rat pee and make a mess. But very good brand and never had any health problems with this with 4+ rats. Perfect for rats to hold, good size for them. Pretty thick as well.

We do wildlife rehab, and I have bought these for the orphaned squirrels. The first squirrel we rehabbed, I made the mistake of giving her fruit and nuts before she became accustomed to the pellets. Big mistake--she did not want to eat pellets. Since then, I have transitioned from formula to a mush made from formula and crushed pellets, then to just pellets. They have to eat pellets for a few weeks before they get to taste anything else. They seem to love the pellets. One of the boys will even preferentially pass up a pecan to eat a pellet. I have a mason jar that I pour all of the crumbs at the bottom of the bag into, to save for making mush for the next round of babies.

Mazuri offers a balanced nutritional profile, ensuring your hamster gets a well-rounded intake of vitamins and minerals. This can be particularly helpful if their primary mix leans heavily towards treats or seeds, which can lack essential nutrients. The addition of Mazuri pellets also adds some enrichment to your hamster's life. The foraging instinct is strong in these little creatures, and Mazuri provides them with the opportunity to explore and nibble on something different. Another perk? Mazuri's inclusion of yucca schidigera extract can help control ammonia odors, potentially reducing how often you need to clean your hamster's cage. It's important to note, however, that Mazuri wasn't designed specifically for hamsters. The protein content may be higher than what some hamster mixes offer. Because of this, Mazuri should be used as a supplement, offered alongside a hamster-specific primary food source like Higgins Sunburst. Not all hamsters will take to Mazuri right away. Some might stick with their usual mix, while others might enjoy the occasional Mazuri block as a crunchy treat. The key is to monitor your hamster's food intake and adjust as needed. Overall, Mazuri Rat & Mouse Diet can be a useful addition to your hamster's dietary routine. It provides balanced nutrition, variety, and potential odor control. Just remember, it's best used as a supplement alongside a hamster-specific primary food mix. With a little experimentation, you might find that Mazuri becomes a welcome enrichment for your curious little hamster.

They are so good that my dog grabbed the bag and ran with it. Max and Gilbert (the rats and the ones they were bought for) really like them. The bags closure is easy to use. That's a big deal for me.
