FAQs

What is Nutri Pressed® technology?

Nutri Pressed® technology involves processing food at low temperatures. This method helps to retain heat-sensitive nutrients, enhance the natural aroma and flavor of the ingredients, and create a dense pellet that discourages selective feeding.

Why is hay important when feeding these pellets?

While the pellets contain fiber, hay provides the essential long fiber crucial for maintaining the dental health of rats and mice through constant chewing, and also supports a healthy digestive system.

Can I feed this to a very young or elderly pet?

Yes, these pellets are suitable for rats and mice of all ages, from young to elderly. They are formulated to support optimum health and well-being throughout their life stages.

Does this food contain artificial colors or flavors?

No, this food is made without any artificial colors. The flavor is derived from the natural ingredients used in the formulation.

What is the protein and fiber content?

The analytical constituents show Crude Protein at 17% and Crude Fibre at 17%.

What should I do if my pet doesn't seem to like the pellets?

It's recommended to introduce new foods gradually. You can try mixing a small amount of the pellets with their current food, or lightly moistening the pellets to enhance their aroma. Always ensure fresh water is available.

How should I store the food to keep it fresh?

Store the food in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, and ensure the bag is tightly sealed after each use to maintain freshness and prevent moisture or pest contamination.

Troubleshooting

Pet is refusing to eat the pellets

Ensure the pet has access to plenty of hay and fresh water. Try introducing the pellets gradually by mixing them with their current food. Some pets may need time to adjust to a new diet. Ensure the food is fresh and stored correctly.

Digestive upset (e.g., loose stools)

While the high fiber and prebiotics support digestion, a sudden change in diet can cause upset. Ensure the pellets are being fed with ample hay. If issues persist, consult a veterinarian. Check the 'Composition' and 'Analytical Constituents' to ensure no ingredients are causing a reaction.

Pellets appear stale or have lost aroma

Ensure the bag has been stored correctly in a cool, dry, sealed environment. Check the expiry date. If the product is past its expiry or has been exposed to moisture or air, it may have lost freshness and should not be fed.
