Fiesta Food For Rats & Mice

When I first got my rats this is what I fed them because I just figured since it has a lot of nuts in it that it would be good for them. However, the sunflower seeds, peanuts and pumpkin seeds are too fatty for rats to eat all of the time. They will develope fatty tumors and scabs if this is all you feed them. Luckily, I found that out before my rats developed any of those symptoms. This food would be better if given as a treat to your rat.

Pros: It makes a good treat for your rat or mouse

Cons: Too fatty for them to eat all of the time

It seemed to be a winner with my rat but I didn't like the fact that she chose to only eat the seeds and didn't touch the rest of it. Not only was that wasting food (because i gave new food every day) but she was missing out on important nutrients. I suggest using a block formula with this everyso often as more of a fun treat.

Pros: there is a variety of different foods to eat

Cons: they pick out only what they want to eat and miss some important nutrients
