What can rats chew on2007-11-24 22:16:05

By something to chew on I mean something that wont harm her, I love my rat! I've been noticing that she grinds or jitters her teeth together so I figured it was because her teeth were getting to long. I bought her the chew sticks and she wont use them at all...what else can I get her that she might like more and that will help her teeth?

This is my baby...too cute I know!! lol

You might need to try a few different kinds of chew sticks before you find 1 your girl likes. Besides wood in various shapes, there are fruit-flavored mineral blocks shaped like ice cream, chews made fron dried gourd & many other materials. Our guys get bored with 1 type very fast & we have to keep changing chew treats in order to keep their interest up. Our hairless girl is especially finicky with food & toys as well as chew treats.

Also try dog biscuits or nuts in the shell. Our rats love peanut butter flavored biscuits. Some rats enjoy gnawing on uncooked pasta but none of ours does.

Although rats really enjoy chewing & gnawng, they don't *need* to do this, since they are able to keep their teeth in shape by grinding them together. Giving them fun things to chomp on is just one more way to show them we love them.
