Brux & Nibble Forage Muesli Mix rat food is made from recognizable ingredients and crafted into a unique recipe that delivers the nourishment your rat needs. Brux & Nibble was formulated by Karma Rei, inspired by the Shunamite Diet originally created by Alison Campbell. This mixture is fantastic for incorporating natural enrichment and stimulation from a variety of textures and flavors. It can be fed separately with added supplements such as Pro Vital and Dr. Squiggles, or it can be mixed in with your existing rat food such as Oxbow, Teklad, Mazuri, etc.
Directions: Feed 15g to 20g per rat, per day when feeding this dry mix. Reminder: You will need to supplement your rats with vitamins and minerals if you’re not mixing with blocks/pellets.
