Hi, I'm Laura Fitzgerald and on behalf of Expert Village, I would like to talk to you
today about the care and maintenance of your pet rat. Now I would like to talk to you about
your rat's diet. Your rat's diet is one of the most important things that you should
learn about to make sure that your rat lives a long and happy life. Rats only live about
eighteen months to two years so that is why diet is so important. Today I want to show
you a little about what a rat should eat. Right here I have lots of vegetables, your
broccoli, cucumber, green peppers, carrots, even some asparagus, some fruit, apples, and
some cheese, bananas, and these, I have some dog food pellets, wheat crackers, whole grain
cereals and then your regular rat diet. You should have multi things for free grazing
all day long. So I would put two or three bowls, maybe a bowl of fruits and vegetables
and a bowl of his rat chow and maybe a couple of crackers and maybe a bowl of his whole
grain food in and offer it to him every single day.
