Rat Diet Supplements?

Author: admin

All my rats are on supplemented lab blocks and have been for years. But I got two boys a few months ago who are not doing so great on the age old diet.

They have both started having very smelly semi-dihharia. Their cage mates don't have the problems at all. I’ve separated them from the group in a different cage for now.

I normally use the Rat Health Guide but it seems to be down. So I need help with suggestions of diets or supplements to firm up their feces asap.

This isn’t a situation were a vet is needed (trust me) all I need is a short list or some recipes that have worked for your rats in the past.


Answer:
have you tried dry multi grain crackers? that helps my boys, although I’ve never had that exact problem, usually they get like that because they have had too much fruit! hopefully it will help though

Answer:
crackers, and kind of grain cereal. alittle bit of bananna. I know those helped my rats with that problem. other then that, go to a pet store, tell them your problem, and ask for a good rat food to help that.

Answer:
Please go to this site. It has some excellent information on rats and rat diets. Just scroll down the page.
