Rat info :)

I am not sure if you are still looking for information on rats, but here goes. Rats can be picky about certain foods but there is a lot that they will eat. As far as diet is concerned, they will eat any rat brand diet that you buy at a pet store; however, it is best to buy a diet with rodent blocks. If you get a seed and fruit diet, the rats will pick out the ingrediants they love the most and they need to eat all of the seeds or they will get an inbalanced diet. You can feed them most fruits and vegies. Examples are: grapes, berries, pieces of apples and bannanas, lettuce, carrots, and broccoli. They should avoid caffine and alcohol. I am not sure, but I think you should also avoid avacados. They need time out of the cage since they are highly social animals. If they don't get out much they need a friend to live with. They also need blocks of wood to chew on to wear down they incisors or they will grow into their scull! Also, avoid cedar and pine bedding which are harmful.
