Wire cages can be drafty and will allow your pet's bedding to fall out causing a mess. They are, however, more spacious than tanks and can be used for rats. They cause respiratory disease and organ damage. They can be mounted on the outside of cages, and holders are available for use in tanks. This is a complete, balanced diet and should be available to your pet at all times.
All pets enjoy an occasional treat.
Fresh and dried fruit, vegetables, salad greens, plain popcorn, whole wheat bread, and low-sugar breakfast cereals are all good treats and add variety to your pet's diet. In fact, anything you eat, that wouldn't be classified as junk food, would be enjoyed by your pet. Just be careful not to overfeed with treats as they can lead to obesity. Be sparing with oily seeds, nuts, and grain mixes. TOYS Toys encourage rats and mice to be more active and inquisitive.
