Feeding the Oxbow kibble free choice for young rats is a good idea. Then you don't have to wonder if they are getting enough. I free feed my adult rats too and out of 4 only one is chubby, but it's not an issue. She actually seems to be the healthiest of all them, with lots of energy and she's almost 2 years old.
As for the veggies, rats can be wary of new foods. Sometimes they will nibble very tiny amounts of something new and wait to see how it makes them feel before consuming more. Since your rats are already a few months old it might take them a bit to get used to veggies but just keep offering them, I'm sure they will figure out in time how yummy they are!
