How to properly feed a domestic rat
If you're not an expert in pet rat care, we've put together some helpful tips for you.
Buy special food for pet rats at the pet store. This feed has a balanced composition, which contains almost all the nutrients necessary for the animal.
Ready food should be available to the rat at all times. To do this, pour it into a special feeder.
In addition, the pet must have constant access to clean water. To do this, attach a special rodent drinker with a straw to the wall of the cage and renew the water every 1-2 days.
Remember to clean the water bottle itself with a brush and water at least once a week.
In addition to rat food, you can feed your furry pet vegetables and fruits: apples, bananas, carrots, cucumbers.
Never feed your rat human food, sweets, or foods that contain caffeine. For example: sweets, chocolate, cheeses, and peanut butter.
