Remember that frequent meals are essential because a rat’s stomach empties after just 6 hours. What Are Rats’ Nutritional Requirements? A rat and mouse diet that meets the same general requirements (e.g., low calorie, low fat) is a good compromise if you cannot find a good rat specific diet. However, stay away from hamster, gerbil, and other rodent diets as they are not a good substitute. The nutritional requirements in these foods are different, and they usually contain alfalfa which is not very digestible in rats. For this reason, we recommend low-fat foods for most rats. Those that are growing and pregnant may need higher-fat foods, though protein is really the main nutrient that these rats need.

Keep in mind that feeding a wide variety of foods is the best way to ensure optimum nutrition and health.

If that diet includes high amounts of fat, the rat may gain extra body weight and become obese. It can become a serious problem when the rat chooses the fat over other food items, missing out on key vitamins and minerals required for them to thrive.
