I bought dried apples at the store a while ago; I didn't like them, so I gave them to my sister. She hasn't been eating them or her dried mangoes lately. Since Iris and Emil may be very close to joining us...I was wondering...
Could I feed them these store-bought apples?
They're green apples. All that's inside is apples, which have been dried (they're squishy and feel a little moist, unlike the dried mangoes, which are rough and dry) of course, and sodium sulfite (to preserve color).
There's a warning label that says:
ALLERGY WARNING: MAY CONTAIN TRACES OF MILK, ALMOND, BRAZIL NUTS, CASHEWS, COCONUT, HAZELNUTS, MACADAMIA NUTS, PECANS, PINE NUTS, PISTACHIOS, WALNUTS, PEANUTS, WHEAT, AND SOY.
I'm unsure if they're safe or not. It'd only be given as a treat and not part of their actual diet. They are fat-free and seedless.

Would this be safe? I think it would be, but once again, I'm unsure. They're store-bought, not homemade, so...
I'm just being careful. Rats are so delicate and they don't live long...
