  • feeding a pet rat meat is usually a bad idea, because they usually develope a biting habbit.
  • False: It does not create a biting habit. Meat is good for rats and if they get grabby, it's because of you, not the food. They have have chicken, and red meat. Make sure it's well done and has no spices added to it. Mix it in with their veggies and do not feed them through the bars. THAT creates a biting habit.

All mammals have meat in them. A rat does not contain much meat and one would be ill-advised to eat one but all mammals contain meat and rats are mammals.
