Wholesome Garden Nutrition for Adult Rats

Product Description

Garden Select® Adult Rat Food delivers a garden-inspired diet crafted from non-GMO whole grains, vegetables, and herbs. Uniform pellets prevent selective feeding, ensuring that adult rats receive a balanced mix of protein, fat, fiber, vitamins, and minerals in every bite. Enhanced with antioxidants and prebiotics, this formula supports digestive health, immune function, and overall vitality without artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives.

• Garden-Fresh Ingredients: Features carrot, spinach, tomato, and banana powders plus rosemary and thyme for natural flavor, antioxidants, and phytonutrients. 
• Digestive & Immune Support: Prebiotics and hydrolyzed yeast nourish beneficial gut flora, while mixed tocopherols and rosemary extract provide antioxidant protection. 
• Dental Enrichment: Pellets have rugged edges to promote gnawing and healthy tooth wear in continuously growing incisors.
