General Rat Information

Rats can’t burp, so avoid feeding gas-causing vegetables like broccoli or cauliflower.

Rats can’t vomit, so avoid feeding seeds, nuts and cheese.

Feed your rat no more than one tablespoon of vegetables per day.

When stressed, rats will secrete “red tears” that might cause white fur to turn pink.
