**Q: What role does fortified food play in the overall nutrition of rats?**
A: Your rat requires daily amounts of essential nutrients to stay healthy and happy. Essentials Adult Rat contains 100% of your rat’s daily recommended vitamins and minerals to support whole body health.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by E***R on 16 November 2025*

Definitely one of the best foods on the market in terms of nutrients & flavor. I have three rats and I give them around two handfuls a day. They always finish and are always very excited about it, they maintain a healthy weight and something I've noticed about this food specifically is that they like it even more than the seed and nut mixtures that you can purchase for rats. Honestly they get more excited for this than they do their fruit & veg which is a shock as other pellet type food I've tried usually isn't such a hit.
