Anything. Rats are omnivorous.
In my experience, other than very acidic citrus fruit, pet rats will enjoy any food. I fed mine a diet of one part low-protein dog food for old fat dogs and one part parrot mix (seeds and nuts and little colored biscuits) in addition to small amounts of table scraps. They love people food and will get fat fast on it. They <b>love</b> cheese, eggs, rice, bacon, popcorn, shrimp, potatoes, bananas, basically, all the things that humans adore. Rats are highly motivated by bananas and meat. As mine got older they definitely could tell the difference between what was good (people food) and what was not (dog food) and would hold out for the scraps if they could get them.
But really, you want to watch what they eat so they stay healthy. That's why you should choose the low protein dog food for a staple. Let scraps be treats. Oh, and no peanut butter--they can choke on it. And no caffeine (including chocolate).
