You rat probably has an upper respitory infection. It probably isn't as active as normal either. Try giving it milk through an eye dropper. If this doesn't work take you rat to the vet immediatly; but if it does, try drench some bread in milk and feeding to him.

My pet rat isn't eating what do I do?

It is likely that it is sick or it really doesn't like the food (that happened to one of my rats!). I would, however, take the rat to the vet or look up symptoms of respiratory disease (it is one of the most common diseases in rats). If the rat seems fine other than the lack of eating the rat food try giving it lettuce, tomatoes, ect to get it to eat but remember to never feed it citrus fruit.
