I was wondering if anyone knows some good things to give my baby rats, they're between 4 and 5 weeks old and I thought eating nothing but oxbow pellets was probably pretty boring. I tried giving them a small slice of carrot, but they didn't seem to really like it, Burrowsworth nibbled it a bit and Tumbleton wouldn't even taste it. Then I tried some unsweetened cinnamon oatmeal (a reserved spoonful from my breakfast) which was a big hit with them. I don't have a whole lot of stuff around, but I have frozen peas, 'spring mix' salad, various squashes, apples, eggs, brown rice, broccoli, pasta, roasted chicken and cream of rice. I know I shouldn't feed them TOO much extra stuff because they are still getting used to real food (I got them Thursday and was told they had just been weaned a couple days before), but would these things be ok for them?
Also, can rats eat plantains? I tried searching online but didn't really find anything, I really like these roasted plantain chips from Trader Joes, they contain plantains, sunflower oil, and salt, and I wanted to know if I could share with them.
-Thanks
