{"product_id":"tropifit-premium-rat-500g","title":"Tropifit Premium Rat 500g – Complete Daily Rat Food","description":"\u003cp\u003eTropifit Premium Rat 500g is a complete daily food formulated specifically for pet rats. It combines extruded cereal granules, chicken meal, alfalfa, vegetables, fruit, and seeds into a balanced diet that supports an omnivore's nutritional needs from a single food source — no supplementary mixing required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eExtrusion Process and Digestibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cereal granules are extruded, a process that improves digestibility and nutrient absorption compared to raw or cold-pressed alternatives. Extrusion also produces a lighter granule texture and helps reduce unwanted bacteria and fungi that can be present in raw ingredients — a meaningful benefit for gut health and food safety.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAnimal Protein from Chicken\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRats are omnivores, and animal protein is a genuine dietary requirement — not an optional extra. The chicken meal granules (2%) provide a dedicated source of animal protein to support normal condition and activity levels, reflecting the natural diet of the species rather than a purely plant-based approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDigestive and Dental Support\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlfalfa (14%), dried carrot, carob pods, and other fibre-rich ingredients support healthy gut function and normal digestion. The granule texture also promotes natural tooth wear, which is important for maintaining oral hygiene in rats whose teeth grow continuously.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eVariety in Flavour and Texture\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDried banana (1.3%), raisins (0.3%), carrot, sunflower seeds (5.7%), and peas (2%) are included to add variety in both flavour and texture.
