Those are the ingredients in Brown’s Tropical Carnival Mouse and Rat food sold at PetCo. I can’t believe people pay for and feed this to their rats. Soybean anything should be in front of half the stuff on this list. >.< Comments?
Live,Laugh,Learn,Love... I don't buy it for my rats, I use Mazuri lab block which is healthier for my rats than ANY mixture. And being a block it helps grind their teeth down anyways.

I pointed out how bad this food was because it is sold at Petco. The ingredients are awful. In mixtures like these your rat picks out what he likes best and doesn't eat the other parts which tend to be healthier for them. Soybean anything should be the number one ingredient rather than the 15th or so. Other items on this list are useless in their nutrition and just make them fat.
