Mazuri Rat & Mouse Diet: The Lab Blocks Your Mice Never Knew They Needed
As a former elected board member of one of the largest mouse breeding and show communities, I take my rodent nutrition very seriously. Enter Mazuri Rat & Mouse Dietâthe gold standard in mouse cuisine. If my mice could write a Yelp review, they’d be giving these lab blocks a Michelin star.Letâs talk protein and fat content. These blocks are more on point than a vegan chef at a quinoa convention. Itâs like the mouse food equivalent of a protein shake and a Sunday roast had a baby. These blocks have the right balance, ensuring your rodents get the nutrition they need without leaving them feeling like they just attended an all-you-can-eat pizza buffet.Now, letâs talk price. If youâre looking for a bargain, look no further. The cost-to-quantity ratio is so good, I started wondering if they were giving me a discount because they heard about my impressive rodent breeding résumé. Itâs a solid product at a solid price. You wonât break the bank feeding your furry friends, and your mice will be eating like royalty (without the tiny crown, though).If you want a healthy, happy mouse that wonât start a protest for better food, I fully endorse this lab block. Five stars for being the unsung hero of small mammal nutrition and keeping the furry crowd both fed and fabulous.

Great as a complement to a gourmet food mix for hamsters, and lasts long.
Mazuri offers a balanced nutritional profile, ensuring your hamster gets a well-rounded intake of vitamins and minerals. This can be particularly helpful if their primary mix leans heavily towards treats or seeds, which can lack essential nutrients. The addition of Mazuri pellets also adds some enrichment to your hamster’s life. The foraging instinct is strong in these little creatures, and Mazuri provides them with the opportunity to explore and nibble on something different.Another perk? Mazuri’s inclusion of yucca schidigera extract can help control ammonia odors, potentially reducing how often you need to clean your hamster’s cage.It’s important to note, however, that Mazuri wasn’t designed specifically for hamsters. The protein content may be higher than what some hamster mixes offer. Because of this, Mazuri should be used as a supplement, offered alongside a hamster-specific primary food source like Higgins Sunburst. Not all hamsters will take to Mazuri right away. Some might stick with their usual mix, while others might enjoy the occasional Mazuri block as a crunchy treat. The key is to monitor your hamster’s food intake and adjust as needed.Overall, Mazuri Rat & Mouse Diet can be a useful addition to your hamster’s dietary routine. It provides balanced nutrition, variety, and potential odor control. Just remember, it’s best used as a supplement alongside a hamster-specific primary food mix. With a little experimentation, you might find that Mazuri becomes a welcome enrichment for your curious little hamster.

Good for even picky eaters!
My little guy can be picky about rodent blocks and historically has not eaten them well. He cleans these up and is very excited when he hears the bag! There is a little more dust/fines than I would like, but overall this doesnât detract from the value for price, nutrition, or palatability for him.

The rats i raise love this stuff they will pick this over any other food source even over treats and junk food and they grow faster and bigger because it has good nutrition to it

Mazuri rat food is pretty much the gold standard for rat and mouse lab …
Mazuri rat food is pretty much the gold standard for rat and mouse lab blocks. You can’t really go wrong with it. However, there’s always room for improvement. Four suggestions to Mazuri….1) Make it less crumbly and dusty. When the rats eat the blocks, the blocks leave behind more food dust than most other blocks. This could be improved.2) Make your lab blocks taste a bit better. My girls seem to prefer the Oxbow and Kaytee stuff over Mazuri. Granted, I like Mazuri over those brands for other reasons, but that’s a different topic. Mazuri could improve the taste a bit I’m sure3) Sell your lab blocks in bulk bags for lower prices. You’d blow your competitors out of the water if you did that.4) You (Mazuri) might consider making a young rat version of your lab blocks. I know lots of companies do that. Young rats tend to need more protein than older rats. Just a thought.Overall good product. I can’t complain. My rats like it, the vet likes it, and I generally like it. I actually tasted one of the lab blocks once. It’s a bit bland, but not bad honestly (it ain’t five star restaurant food, but I figure the least I can do for my girls is to make sure their food is palatable by trying it for myself one time).

Good for hamsters
After much research, I added this as part of a balanced diet for my dwarf hamsters. They lived over two years, so it mustâve been good nutrition for them
