What to Feed Your Pet Rat

The key to feeding your pet rat a healthy, beneficial and nutritious diet is balance. If you achieve this, you are on the right track. First, purchase a commercial pellet diet at a pet store or vet clinic.

Secondly, supplement your pet rat’s pellet portion each day with small servings of fruits, grains, veggies, cooked egg, and/or grains. Rats are omnivorous creatures and not that difficult to feed. Be sure to feed them only small portions of the aforementioned as doing otherwise could lead to an obese or sick pet rat.

Third, make sure your pet rat has access to clean and fresh drinking water 24/7. Use a water bottle as opposed to a bowl so that the water doesn’t become contaminated. Provide multiple bottles if you have several rats so that they do not compete.
