Hellos Rat lovers i need ur help. Can u give a rat Penut butter as a reward.

Question

I just got a rat to keep my BF rats company i love her to death. but we are still trying geting her used to being handle. Is it ok to give a little Penut butter on my finger a good reward.

Answer 1

yes but just a little bit at a time you also might want to add a little water so it isn't so sticky but beside yogurt i think rats love peanut butter best GL with the little ratties!

Answer 2

oh yeah you can they will love you just not to much, if it gets stuck they can choke (they cant throw up!)

Answer 3

yes! but be careful cause it may invite her to nip your finger.  

Answer 4

I don't know the answer however I would be careful, wild rats can eat almost anything, domestic rats can't.

Answer 5

yes but not in chunks because then it could get stuck in their throat which will cause death. Just spread some on the finger and they will l**k it until its ALL gone! My ratties love it!

Answer 6

It is alright. The only things wrong with it is that it is HIGHLY fattening, but also that since it is so dense, it is easy to clog their throats completely, especially if they get really excited, and induce suffocation.

What the all time best ratty treat is yogurt drops. You can find them at your pet store. They are not too high in fat or even sugar, plus they provide them with calcium. I recommend them :)

Answer 7

Yes they love peanut butter, but dont feed any kind of meat they get very aggressive.

Answer 8

Peanut butter is okay in moderation. Although they like the taste, the stickiness sometimes drives them nuts lol.

Answer 9

Not recommended, due to the thickness. It's technically a choking hazard.

Rats LOVE peanut butter though, so try to dilute it a little (or get the all natural kind, as it's a thinner consistency)

EDIT: Someone said meat will make the rats aggressive? Nonsense! They're not herbivores, and should be allowed some meat. My rats LOVE plain cooked chicken as a treat.

Answer 10

absolutely. they love peanut butter. just be careful about the chunky kind. rats tend to eat fast, and might choke. smooth is better. my rats love it!

Answer 11

why wouldn't it be???? rats who don't have homes eat anything and they seem to be okay:P

Answer 12

lol! this is an interesting question!

why wouldn't it be ok?

Answer 13

its fine...but don't put a big chunk of peanut butter on your hand...only a very thin layer! make sure of this because they choke very easily on peanut butter!
