A friend of mine contacted FM Brown's about their Brown's Tropical Carnival Rat mix, which does not contain soy in their food to see why they decided not to include soy in their food. We wanted to see if this was intentionally done of if it was a cost made decision. FM Brown's sent the following response to my friend:
Thank you for your comments. We are very happy that your rats enjoy our food. We believe that it’s the best food out there and contains everything nutritionally sound for rats and mice. We do not put soy in our product because there is no research regarding soy for small animals. Until research is done to prove that soy is beneficial, we’ll remain cautious and not put that in our food. Again thank you for your inquiry. Best Regards, Sue Brown
So, since they believe this about the rat food, it is safe to say that they believe this about all of their small animal food. Social Rats Adoptions and Rescue fully supports FM Brown's in their decision and will continue to show our support by purchasing exclusively from FM Brown's for our food and excourage other concerned small animal owners to do the same. Please support FM Brown's in their choice to provide soy free food for our small animals by purchasing FM Brown's products.

It's unbelieveable how many rat foods are out there with soy, actually ALL! I have read the backs of every single rat food and there is soy in every one. Brown's is the only one. I'm happy that Tami mentioned that food to me, or I would have never noticed no soy. For one of the owners to say they don't put soy in their food because there is no research regarding soy for small animals. Meaning it was not tested if it was good or bad for small animals. So all of the other foods with soy, they just threw it in there, no research about it, no care about small animals.
ReplyDeleteI have noticed many pet stores in many areas don't carry brown's, but if you ask the store if they can carry it, many will. Especially if you mention that it's the only rat food that is soy-free!
