Answer by  mammakat (11147)

Rats are omnivores, and can eat just about anything you will. However, if you are raising rats, a good pellet diet is best for them, along with nuts and veggies.

Rats can eat just about anything. Fresh food is always going to be best as long as it is varied to cover certain food groups. Grains and seeds are the most important but vegetables and even some meat can be a good rounded addition. Alot of stores sale rat food, but alot of it has crude fat which is bad.

Rats, for their health, have specific dietary needs. Do not attempt to feed them food meant for other animals. Seeds, yogurt, corn, and other natural alternatives are best.

Rats actually should eat a diet very similar to what we should eat. Plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. They eat meat and like chicken bones or sunflower seeds as a good snack. Keep sweets to a minimum. They do enjoy yogurt and it is good for them. Always provide fresh water.
