Rat Weekly Meal Plan

Having a daily feeding schedule gives your rat variety and keeps them dietary stimulated. And it can be quite fun to mix up different foods! It helps keep you more intimately involved in your rat's lifestyle and promotes excitement in their day-to-day lives. And we've broken it down to a day-by-day list, to ensure your rat gets all of the nutritional needs they require.
