The Perfect NutritionI am so happy that Petbarn now sells this instead of the mixes! Vetafarm rodent origins is the perfect diet for your rats or mice, it is the only nutrition they need (however treats are still appreciated). My boys (rats) are healthy and their eyes are bright. I would definitely recommend this food!If you are wondering why mixes tend to be bad, this is because rats (like humans) like to pick out what they like and then leave the rest, this means they wont get their nutritional needs... because admit it.... Big Macs are great and salads are for rabbits.

Great permanent dietThis is the first food I got for my rats. It is highly nutritious, with no nasty alfalfa, and has a delicious blueberry flavor. A bag lasts me about 2-3 months. The one problem is the pellets are too small for my rats to hoard, which is natural for them, especially since they have a very large cage. They also aren't large enough to be truly crunchy, which is good for their teeth. I recommend swapping between this food and Supreme Selective rat food to provide a variety. I highly recommend it.

The best off the shelf rat food you can buy in pet storesMost good rat owners have previously had to make their own dry mix due to so many nasty seedy foods on the market but Vetafarm Origins changes that - an excellent product, highly recommended.
The hot summer season in NZ can present some hazards for our pets.
Here are the key watch-outs and safety tips to help keep your pets cool, happy and healthy this summer.
Welcoming a kitten into your household comes with joy, cuteness and cuddles. But there's also some adjustments for both you and your kitten.
Your kitten has to get used to their new living arrangements and you have to adapt to having an energetic little fur-friend in the house. Keep reading for tips that will make the settling-in process easier!
Just like humans, pets can feel the changes in the weather, and this can affect their health and happiness. The best way to ensure they stay at a comfortable temperature is to provide them with a coat or jumper.
