I'm in CT and we don't have mazouri rodent food here...

I'm wondering if I can feed oxbow adult rat food.

Oxbow is generally a great brand- it's the ONLY thing I feed my chinchilla or guinea pigs.

I tried henrys picky blocks and both 6 week old squirrels hated them

Yes - it is the Regal Rat, right? It is a decent quality food if they will eat it. I haven't been successful.

I have used the Oxbow Rat & Mouse pellets with some success -- maybe 60% of my rehab squirrels like them. I'm with you -- I work at a nature center and all we feed is Oxbow when it comes to our bunnies, chinchillas and guinea pigs!

In all honesty, 6 wks old is a bit young for HHB (Henry;s Blocks). The bag suggests starting at 8 weeks; your guys might like them later. They are a great product.
