Best Answer

You can feed them lab blocks from pet stores and stuff. Mixes can make them fat and unhealthy, so don't feed them that. Rats can eat salad and other veggie stuff. They are allergic to citrus, and you shouldn't feed them too much nuts or salt (actually, no salt!)

What is the most healthiest food for a rat?

Rats are omnivorous, meaning they eat both plants and meat. Although it is not recommended, small amounts of meat can be given to rats. It may make your rats aggressive towards other rats and their owner. There is not really a most healthiest food for a rat, but you should feed your rat lots of fresh vegetables and fruits such as: Lettuce (Lettuce should be in your rats daily diet), carrots, apples, and raisins. You can also feed your rat small bits of bread, but don't give your rats too much. Small bits of cereal too is also good for rats. Giving the rats a few rice crispies (not the bars), is fine but make sure the ingredients are healthy in them and preferably for the rats, organic. In the feed you give them, make sure there is dehydrated corn and other vegetables in it, and a variety of seeds. Hope this helped!


What is good to keep rats away from horse feed?

The best way to keep these rodents out is to spend the money on metal containers with metal lids to keep your feed in. Poison is not advised because it may contaminate the feed no matter how careful you are with it. Cats are a good idea, they have been rat catchers since who knows when. But you have to keep the cat hungry enough to want to catch the rats.


How dirty are rats?
