I didn't even know Oxbow made this but I'm ordering this for my girls. Mainly Blaze as she hit the 2.5yr mark and is...I suppose a senior girly now.

Meh, it's worth a short cause it's on sale for $12 bucks and I'm gonna start by just giving it to Blaze. If I feel it helps then i'll likely just use it on my ratties after they hit 2yrs old. Since after 2yrs 80% unspayed females get tumors. Course I also plan on spaying my females from now on, but, that seems to be the magical age where the immune system gets much weaker. Especially after 2.5. Since rats typically die from either a tumor or a resp infection, I'm inclined to think this could actually help prolong their short lives, maybe just a bit.

I tried to find a place to buy them, but I couldnt find them, I was thinking of giving them to my old girls, and my two double rex the most, but, then only 2 would not be getting them, so might as well give them to them also lol

my only wonder is fenugreek is used to enlarge the glans and helps produce lactation in nursing mothers, would it or would it not cause more of a tumor issue in the unspayed females.

I've never heard of that sad I know that estrogen is the major player in tumors. Hence the spay to prevent. I guess it depends on the mode of action. Like maybe it works through vasodilation?
