Ok so I'm not quite sure what to feed my rats. At first I had them on the Adult Oxbow rat food, but there poop didn't look healthy at ALL(diarrhea like and nasty). So then I switched them to the Oxbow Young Rat And Mouse Food and their poop turned back to the normal healthy rat poop.

Since they are older now I thought it would be okay to switch them back to the adult rat food, but their poop is starting to not look good again. So I don't know if I should switch brands, or just keep them to the young rat food.

Any advice, please? :)

Please reply soon, I'm almost out of rat food and I need to know what to buy 😬

Hello! I personally recommend tiny friends farm. It does have artificial dyes in it and the bags don’t last so long, but I find my boys do well on it. Even better, and this is what I do, search up “shunimite rat diet” and make up a batch of that, using the tiny friends farm as the base instead of rabbit food. It’s really quite easy to whip up and I find it works great for my boys. Hope this helps!
Also, I highly recommend watching isamu rat care’s video on rat diet, it’s very helpful!
