It’s absolutely vital that you feed your pet rat a diet of pressed pellets. They will provide him with all the nutrients he needs, but how boring is that! You can also give your pet treats. How often should you feed your pet a special snack?

You can feed your pet a treat every single day, as long as you’re careful about what you feed him. For example, you can provide your pet with a tablespoon of fruits and vegetables every single day. Think broccoli, carrots, and bananas.

Other treats should be fed sparingly. Dried fruit is high in sugar and should only be offered once every week or two. Nuts are popular with rats too, but because they’re high in fat, they shouldn’t be fed very often either.
