What kind of food do rats eat and don't eat?

Answer 1

Really any vegetable in moderation, same with fruits. Dried fruits and vegetables, rat food 'trail mixes' sold at stores or other items of this nature. Do NOT feed rats cheese, their bodies do not know how to process it and it can cause heart problems and weight issues.

Answer 2

chocolate

raw beans

raw sweet potato

cabbage, brussel sprouts

green potatoes

sweet sugary treats, any other "junk food"

caffeinated beverages

carbonated drinks

Answer 3

Uh well it can depend on the rat, some rats just don't like some food and others do. But there is things that you just shouldn't feed your rat;

• Citrus fruits (cause the runs)
• Peanuts (They are fattier than other nuts and may provoke a skin reaction in susceptible mice, although a few peanuts in the mouse's food mix may be ok. I would give them complete with shell, which the mice will also eat.)
• Chocolate (can be toxic to rodents in large amounts)
• Unwashed fruit/vegetables (These may contain pesticides. A simple rule is not to feed your mice anything that you wouldn't eat yourself.)
• Wheat (can cause skin problems in susceptible mice)
• Cheese (despite the stereotype of mice, cheese is not good for them and many don't like it!)
• Milk (Only offer milk products (kitten milk replacement formula) if there is a medical reason or the mice are being hand-reared. Milk is unnecessary and can cause health problems in both the short and long term.)
• Lettuce (causes diarrhoea) *Too many watery vegetables, such as lettuce, can cause runny stools.
• White millet (this is too fatty, use yellow millet instead which is sold for birds)
• Maize
• Fizzy drinks (can be fatal)
