When we first got rats I didn't know anything about their species nutritional requirements at all. So, when it came to feeding them, we simply decided to share what we ourselves had been eating for almost 10 years - a raw plant based diet. For the rats, this meant feeding them a good variety of seasonal food that included fruit, leafy and wild greens, vegetables, some soaked/sprouted grains, legumes and a dry mix of wholegrains, seeds, berries and nuts.
The rats seemed to really enjoy the food I was feeding them and they all seemed very healthy and grew into lovely normal sized rats. They rarely needed to visit a vet.
As I began to learn more about rat nutrition, I started to add in a few things like live mealworms
