As some of you might already know, we are the proud parents to three really cute ratty babies. Rats are not the most common pets to own and I think that this is part of the reason that their food is $15 a bag if you buy the special rat food mix at the pet store. Since we have owned our rats, we have done a little research on what they can and can’t eat. We have also acquired through various means some various foods that we can feed them.
We had-
– Dog food- one pet store told us to feed them this
– Rabbit food- I got a great deal on it
– Squirrel food- a friend gave it to me
– Whole wheat organic cheerios- aka people food that we didn’t like but they love
So I decided to mix them all together to make a rat food mix that actually doesn’t look too different from what they sell at the pet store for a lot less than $15 and they love it. I should also mention that we feed our rats a large variety of fruit and vegetable that we are also eating. Our little rats eat a lot better than people in some third world countries.
Another great idea! I would say what you made was a lot less than 15 dollars.Keep up the good ideas. Your site is awesome!
Thanks! They actually seem to like the cheerios best of all!
I can’t believe I’m saying this lol…but your rats are cute. You are probably doing your pets a favor by making their food. You are saving money while they get a more varied and nutritious diet.
Thanks! They are fairly inexpensive pets unless you buy the $15 food and we have a lot of fun with them!
