I often get asked how people can help their 'chubby' rats lose weight. The answer is 'feed more raw food'. Raw food is rich in enzymes and is easily digestible. The raw food frees up energy and soon the rats are whizzing all over the place. If you want to feed this way, slowly add more raw into their diet as it is just now. You will see changes in their energy and also increased health benefits such as shiny eyes and fur.
I also can't emphasize how important daily greens are for rats, especially females. The bucks need their greens too but I have found that does, who are naturally more springy, really enjoy the grounding effect that the greens give them.
Our favourite daily greens here are:- lettuce (not icebergs!), kale, and green smoothies made with some green supplements.
What are your rats favourites?
