Feeding Pet Rats

Pet rats thrive with a nutritionally balanced diet. They should also have easy access to fresh clean water at all times. Drinking water should be placed in sipper bottles that can be attached to the sides of the enclosure. 

Rats are rodents, which means their incisor teeth never stops growing throughout their life. In order to keep the growth in check, rats need to chew on something. You can give your pet rat chew toys that are appropriate for their size. Milk-bone dog biscuits that are used to keep the dog’s teeth clean can also give your pet rat hours of chewing pleasure. Some rats also like to chew on pig ears and beef bones. Just be sure to remove them when they’re soft enough for pieces to be swallowed because they can cause obstruction along any part of your pet’s digestive tract.
