Garlic For Fancy Rats

Question

I've heard that garlic can be very beneficial for ill/diseased fancy rats. Why is this? And can I give my fancy rats raw, crushed garlic when they are not ill, just as a dietary supplement? Will this help their health? What affect and why, does it have on their health, both ill and well, does it relieve stress? Also, when and how should I feed it them?

(I mean should I give it to them before travel? In sickness? In their daily diet? When they are tired, even?)

Thanks for any answers, no stupid ones please! =]

Answer 2

Garlic contains antibiotic properties, which is why it's beneficial to sick rats. I've also read it can help with arthritis. You can certainly feed it to them when they aren't ill as a supplement, as well. It's good for them. Don't overdo it though, as with anything. Whether it will help with stress, I'm not sure, but it couldn't hurt to try it!

If you can feed it raw, that's great. Some won't eat it that way because it's quite strong, and if not you can crush it up into something else they may like better. ;P

Answer 4

In order to be antibiotic, you cannot feed it daily. Rats rarely get arthritis, so I would not worry about those benefits. I would stick with only giving them a tiny amount when they are ill. Perhaps in a tea, cool enough for them to drink of course, offered via water bottle every few days during the sickness.

PS, you don't need to give a rat anything before travel or when they are tired. You are sounding a little hypochondriac there. Overdoing medications and beneficial supplements will cause more problems than a simple balanced diet and clean environment.
