Are rats able to eat red cherries2007-11-24 21:58:03Answers:

Yes, rats can eat cherries, just don't let them eat the pits as

fruit seeds, pits, and kernels have cyanide and/or arsenic in them. Be specifically careful with peach, apricot and cherry pits.

A note on feeding red foods, like cherries, to rats. Do not be alarmed when you see red stools or red stain on your rats' bedding. Many a rat-keeper has nearly fainted at the sight of what looks like blood, but it's not, It's just the stain of the cherry juice. Same thing happens when you feed your rats strawberries, raspberries, and cooked kidney beans.

yes mine do well they eat cheeries but jst to make sure check it out on the net

Yes, they also eat: apples, peaches, tomatoes, carambolas, bananas, pineapples and mangos,blueberries, figs, grapes, strawberries, lichees, Surinam cherry, loquat, and dates.However, they cant digest fruit well, it is better to give them veggies instead. My rats enjoy them. If I give them any non-organic produce, I peel it after I wash it. They only get pieces of cherry, as I'm not sure whether the pits have any harmful alkaloids and Im pretty sure a rat could break into a cherry pit with no problem.

Hope I helped!!

Rodents can eat most types of fruit, but it is not the best for them. It is better to give them veggies instead. Even small bits of cooked meat once in a while is okay.

sure...in small amounts.

Our rats enjoy them. If I give them any non-organic produce, I peel it after I wash it. They only get pieces of cherry, as I'm not sure whether the pits have any harmful alkaloids or whatever & obviously a rat could break into a cherry pit with no problem.
