Feeding Pet Rats

Sunday December 21, 2008
hungry ratsPet rats are not that difficult to feed, but it is important to find a food formulated specifically for rats. This can be supplemented with a variety of healthy foods from your kitchen as well, but rats (just like people) should stick to a low fat, low calorie diet to prevent a common health problem: obesity. Guidelines on choosing a good rat food and what sorts of fresh foods your rats can have, can be found in "Feeding Pet Rats."
