is ten weeks old a normal age to buy rats? their really quite big!

Answers:

hi there hun

yes 10 weeks ia a good age to buy rats, although you can buy them at 6 weeks, 10 weeks means their that bit bigger and youll be less nervous and so will they

feed them a good dry mix [ google shumanite diet, really excellent] and plenty of extras fresh stuff.EVERY DAY. at 10 weeks they still need loads of protein to help them reach full potential so feed

scrambled eggs[no milk]

boiled eggs [ just crack the shell and let them have fun]curlykale,

spinach,

broccolli,

fish either fresh cooked or tinned in spring water or tomato sauce[leave any bones in]

chicken drumsticks or wings [ on the bone its good for them]

couscous,rice,pasta[ dried or cooked for these three]

pak choi

peas[fresh or frozen]

sweetcorn [tinned fresh or frozen not dried, dried CAN possibly harbour a fungus and i always say safe not sorry]]

beans [tinned or dried and cooked according to instructions

soya beans [always cooked]

nuts, either shelled or unshelled [never salted ones though] unshelled may have to be cracked a little to get them going

banana

avocado[skinned and de stoned]

NEVER FEED BOY RATS ANY FORM OF CITRUS FRUIT[ORANGES, CLEMENTINES, LEMONS ETC] OR MANGO
