Answer 1

You can feed them baby food.  That's always a favorite in my house.  It's good for them too! :)

Answer 2

i don't think so, but you should keep them nice and warm with plenty of water. respiratory infections or illnesses could lead to pneumonia  

Answer 3

give them all natural yogurt. it contains good bacteria that helps fight off illness and helps strengthen the immune system. i gave this to my rat when she was terribly ill and it really helped. she is great now.

Answer 4

It is known that chocolate is great for rats with respiratory infections! It will help your rat but will not cure it. At least we know now chocolate does have some benefits for rats! Just because chocolate can help respiratory infections does not mean it should be fed on a daily basis.

I hope this helps. Sorry about your rats! Maybe some chocolate will cheer them up! :)

Answer 5

I'd like to know the answer this also - I'm considering a pet rat and would like to inform myself fully before commiting
