This is without doubt my favourite thing about keeping rats!!! 🤣 it's the Mischief Made sub box delivery!! I get waaaaaaaay more excited than they do about it 🤣 this months is another absolute banger AND it's happened again......2 days ago I went on my amazon account on the hunt for a new igloo in preparation for babies in the nest 👀 and something told me not to order.....Low and behold look what came in this months box AND its absolutely huge! 😍 it's the exact same as the one I was gonna buy only a different colour! WIN!!
I also love these little perches and I use them all around the cages to create climbing frames and I know my boys are gonna go CRAZY for the crinkle tunnel,the girls can't have it because they'll just rip it to shreds 🤣

Rotational Treats :-

These are all the treats they shouldn't really have but I get bullied into letting them have! When I walk by the cage and say a quick hello and get given the puppy dog eyes like they're absolutely starving and before I know what's happening I'm giving them a Lik-e-lix cat treat or a few pieces of dried fruits (they love dried banana) or even a walnut (which keeps them busy for a while so counts as great enrichment)
These are the treats that I use as bribery for a cuddle when they're having free roam time or even the peas I float in their little paddling pool for pea fishing when free roaming!
Yoghurt is always a special treat I give that they have no choice but to lick off my fingers because I like to keep it reinforced that we have to be gentle with fingers and it's worthwhile if you are!

The options are endless but should all be given in moderation otherwise like me you will end up with some big squishy rats! 🤣 it's a good job I love em squishy! 💜

Protein Mix -

100% chicken breast either boiled or roasted with as much fat removed as possible.

Boiled or scrambled egg

100% turkey breast either boiled or roasted

Quails egg in shell (gives enrichment aswell as protein)

I give the adult rats around 3g each of proteins twice a week and I rotate on the different days so they don't get bored. Eggs in shells give them a bit of mental enrichment so they're always a winner and I use quails eggs because they're little and there's nothing more adorable than a rat with a teeny egg between it's cute little hands nibbling away 😍

Pregnant rats, feeding mums and weaning babies need extra protein so they get it 4 times a week and a bigger portion!

Forage Recipe

Base 40% - 2 large handfuls of rolled oats or barley flakes

Botanicals 40% - 2 large handfuls of mixed dandelions,marigold petals and mint

The Crunch 15% - 1 small handful of pumpkin and sunflower seeds in shells

The reward 5% - 5 or 6 broken pieces of banana

This is what I put into my foraging toys hidden around the cage,or I scatter it in their dig box.
Again I change the ingredients to keep it interesting but inkeeping with a similar recipe. I weigh out around 2.5g per rat and they get this twice a week sometimes 3 times.

Veg Mix :-

Base 50% - Kale,Spring Greens or Broccoli

Crunch 30% - half a Carrot and 3-4 Slices of courgette

Variety 20% - 4 Slices of Cucumber and 2 small sprouts

Provides calcium,iron and fibre,encourages chewing and supports eye health

My adult rats get 10-12g of this veg mix every day. The base can be changed every couple of days to keep it interesting for them,which is what I do. I also sometimes change the Crunch ingredients and switch out carrot or courgette for parsnip. You can play around with it however you like to keep it interesting for them.

Fruit Mix Recipe

Base 60% - 3 blueberries halved, 1 strawberry quartered and 2 raspberries

Hydration 30% - small chunk of watermelon or cantaloupe

Crunch 10% - 2 thin slices of apple or pear

Provides a massive dose of antioxidants and fiber with minimal sugar and keeps kidneys flushed.

My adult rats only get fresh fruit once a week,twice if they've been VERY well behaved 🤣 doesn't happen often! They love fruit because it's sweet! They get the equivalent of around 2g each of this mix alongside their usual pellets.

I've seen a few posts around the groups about rat diet. Here's a breakdown of what I feed my adult rats daily per rat!
I also have a few mix recipes that I use that I will post separately for anyone interested.

17.5g Plain nuggets
10-12g fresh veg mix recipe
Rotational treats 2-3 times a week
Foraging days-2.5g per rat
Fruit Days - 2g per rat
Protein Days - 3g per rat of plain cooked chicken or boiled egg

They have something different everyday except for their plain base meal. I always feed in the evening as they are most active overnight.
