Is there any food for a rat that someone would recamend?

Question

my freind gave me a rat and im feeding him the same food she was but now he refuses to eat it he will eat just not that so what rat food would you recamend

Answer 1

He's probably just nervous being in a new environment. But you say he will eat, just not his regular food? Give him a few days, limit his treats, and if he still isn't eating you can try switching him to a different food. There aren't that many name brand commercially available rat diets that are very healthy, unfortunately, but Oxbow's Regal Rat, and Mazuri brand lab blocks are both good choices. Avoid Kaytee products.

Answer 2

Burgess Supa Rat Nuggets, they're in my opinion the best on the market, don't feed them peanuts very often like someone said as the fat content will mess up their organs. Try and get a friend for your rat hoever old your rat is, get it a baby friend and they should get along fine, it's not nice to keep rats on their own.

Answer 3

sunflower seeds, peanuts
