Question about feeding a rat people food?

Question

Alright, I got my pet rat today. She is very sweet and takes food from my hand, crawls on it (even though she nips pretty hard when checking it out), lets me pet her and seemed to like cheerios. I know there are a lot of human foods that are okay for rats, and a lot that are bad for them. This is a really random, odd question, but can rats eat pickles? =) Just curious.

Answer 1

maybe just a little bit of a pickle, you don;t want her to get a tummy ache! rats can eat mostly anythin g we do except a lot of protein, alochol, chocolate, caffeine, and avacado. but i would recommend getting an a-z safe rat food list!

Answer 2

Go to the pet store and buy a seed mixture for rats.

Answer 3

well i dont think so...because they could eat cucumbers but wen they make pickles they put a lot of things in the water to make it pickles and some of those things in the water thats makes it a pickle rats cant eat because it could make them sick

Answer 4

go google rat safe foods, or something similar, and you'll get lists of things safe and not safe for ratties. =)

Answer 5

when I had my rats,they ate pretty much everything I did,they know whats not good for them if its natural,and besides they are rats in the wild they eat trash,so thats basically the same thing,anyway I shared pretty much everything with them (except meat) and they lived to be old rats.....I found a list of what rats can not eat...http://www.petratscanada.com/forbidden_f...

Answer 6
