rat fruit and vegetables please help !!!!!!!!!!!!?

You can feed them any food except what is on this list-

blue- cheese contains toxic mold

licorice- contains a suspected neurotoxin

raw dry beans or peanuts- contain antinutrients, cause red blood cell clumping (note: the peanuts that you buy in stores are almost always roasted so are okay.... frozen beans from veggie mixes are okay because they've been pre-cooked)

raw sweet potato- contains cyanide-forming compounds

raw red cabbage and brussel sprouts- contain an antinutrient that destroys thiamin

raw artichokes- inhibit protein digestion

green bananas- inhibit starch digestion

green potato skin and eyes- contain solanine (toxin)

wild insects- could carry parasites

rhubarb- high levels of oxalates which bind up calcium

raw bulk tofu- can contain bacteria (packaged tofu is safe)

orange juice- contains d-limonene which can cause kidney cancer in MALE rats

raw onion- can lead to anemia and an upset stomach

and be careful with this stuff-

carbonated drinks- rats can't burp!

chocolate- It contains stimulants that can lead to heart failure or neurological poisoning in high quantities. A bit of chocolate is okay and can actually temporarily alleviate respiratory distress.

Peanut Butter- This can cause choking in rats. If you want to give your rats some, mix it with jam or something liquid to make it less sticky.

Avocados- These are high in fat and are a good treat to feed rats that are in need of "beefing up" (make sure the fruit is ripe). However, the pit, rind, skin and leaves of avocados are toxic. The part of the fruit in contact with the pit has a higher concentration of toxins.

dried corn- It can have high levels of fungal contaminates which can lead to liver cancer. A little fresh corn is fine.

i give my rats whatever is left over from dinner. It is a myth that rats are any more susceptible to tumors than any other animal. My friend has 4 year old rats that he has fed them everything from tomatoes to leftover popcorn from the movies. Rats need a variation or they will stop eating so just give them a little of what you have for brkfast, lunch, or dinner they will love it. It holds nutrients. don't give them peanut butter, they could choke on it. Rats have the highest amount of human DNA than any other animal cept chimpanzees.

Buy rat food.... baby food... soup.... bread.. just about anything thats not chocolate or to sweet.

before my rat died i would give her some of my food. they eat anything.. even fabric...
