Dried corn can sometime have fungus in it that can cause illness. I see that this has flaked corn in it. How has this corn been processed?

Answer by ChewyApr 15, 2021
The corn in this feed mix (pellets) has been heat processed through extrusion. This offers several advantages over unprocessed corn. High temperature extrusions minimizes loss of vitamins and amino acids that is added to the pelleted diets. The pellets are mixed in with the additional ingredients and is blended into other feeds in the final formulation. An added benefit of a heat processed corn and pellets is that it reduces toxins and microorganism that could pose a potential risk to your pet. All the components in this food, provide a safe and notorious foraging food for your pet.

Will mice pick out there favorite (junky) pieces and leave the rest?

Answer by ChewyMay 21, 2019
Some pet mice might develop "selective eating behavior". That is why you should limit certain foods, like nuts and treats.

Can young rats eat this as well

Answer by ChewyJan 11, 2022
Vitakraft recommends always having 1 or 2 Sunseed Critter Cubes available in the cage with young rats. You may also begin feeding this food once they are weaned. Rats will start nibbling just before this time and the blocks will aid with their teeth development.

I am rehabbing a squirrel and wanted some variety of healthy snacks/ food for him. I give this to him in addition to his fruits vegetables and nuts. He should be extremely healthy once spring comes and he is able to be on his own.

My mice really like this food. The only thing they won't eat are the actual pellets but they love everything else! Im glad I can give them a variety to choose from

Great food, just not for my girls

The ingredients in this seed mix are great and balanced. I love that it also has probiotics! If only my girls ate everything in it. Mine pick out the ingredients

The ingredients in this seed mix are great and balanced. I love that it also has probiotics! If only my girls ate everything in it. Mine pick out the ingredients that make up most of this mix, which are the pellets, flaked corn, soybean hulls, and puffed wheat. I'll try the parakeet mix of this brand as it's also nutritionally complete for mice and it's mainly ingredients my girls will eat.

Great food for pet rats!

My little Bear is a picky eater and so I buy several different types and brands of rat food and mix them in a glass container from which he gets his daily ration

My little Bear is a picky eater and so I buy several different types and brands of rat food and mix them in a glass container from which he gets his daily ration. I noticed that he really likes this food. The variety in the blend is great and I have less waste. I definitely recommend this to my fellow rat parents.

Great Variety

I got this to make a fun dry treat for my little ones. They eat lab blocks as their main food but this is a good supplement. They all (4) found something they liked

I got this to make a fun dry treat for my little ones. They eat lab blocks as their main food but this is a good supplement. They all (4) found something they liked. I also mix in things like dry rainbow pasta, cashew bits, & papaya bits. They get about 2 tbsp per day per ratty so it lasts a long time. Plus that way they still eat their lab blocks & get all their nutrients. I recommend this as a nice addition to lab blocks & fresh foods. Arrived on time & as expected. The reason I don't give 5 stars is because I don't think it should be a primary food source. Ratties will eat their favorites & leave the rest which can lead to them getting too much or too little of important nutrients. As a supplement to lab blocks I'd give it 5 stars.

My husky girl Kooky, a field mouse, loves this food/play time feed. I place half her habitat with fluff and the other half with hay blends and oat grass. She loves when I take about a half a handful of Vitacraft and drop it in the hay blend half. She just has herself a little treasure hunt which keeps her entertained for HOURS!! I think it is helping her with her thickening waistline. Has much needed fiber which helps to fill her up.

Gerbils love it

All I have to say is my gerbil climbed out of his cage when I opened the door and went directly into the food bag. So, he must have liked the food. Lol.
