Rats generally do not drink oil as a primary source of nutrition or hydration. While they may consume small amounts of oil incidentally when it is present in their environment or food, it is not a natural part of their diet and can be harmful to their health. Oils can cause digestive issues and other health problems if ingested in significant quantities.
Rats primarily drink water, as it is essential for their survival and overall health. While they may occasionally ingest small amounts of oil through contaminated food, it is not a suitable or safe source of hydration for them. Consuming oil can lead to digestive issues and other health problems. Therefore, water is the optimal choice for a rat's hydration needs.
Yes mostly long haired because hair keeps you warm
yes!
Yes, if they drink it it will blind/kill them.
mine did for alittle before I could get her an appropriate bottle. Change it constantly and keep it very clean. Rats pee when they drink and can get it in their water bowl. No one likes drinking their pee
It depends on what kind of oil and how much oil you drink. If you drink just one drop of sunflower oil, then you will be okay, but if you drink a drop of gasoline, you would have a serious stomachache.
We live by drinking water. Why drink oil? its harmful
It is not so much that kangaroo rats can live without water: it's that theydo not need to drink water. Kangaroo rats need to drink little if any water; the seeds they eat are frequently high in water content, and kangaroo rats can also rely on water produced by their cells (metabolic water) to survive.
they will develop an aversion to saacharim
Next ridiculous question: how in HELL are you going to collect this rat's milk? I guess you could drink it if you could get any.
liking for the odor of alcohol
No. Kangaroo rats are native to North America. They live in desert areas and don't normally need to drink water.
