| Feeding | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| You'll be able to get a dry food mix from your pet shop, try and get one designed specially for rats. As well as dry food it's good to give your rat some fruit and vegetables - any type will do they're not fussy. Every rat needs a treat now and again, you can buy special treats like yogurt drops, dried fruit mix and chocolate drops my rats also love eating grass - free and tasty, what more could you want! As rats teeth constantly grow it's important to give them something to chew on, most pet shops will sell wood blocks which will keep their teeth under control. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
