That's a good question. I'm not sure there is a difference, both would seem fine. ...wow! Pediasure has banana cream flavor, I bet my rats would go nuts for that one!
 
Here are the main differences as I can see them:

Pediasure has:
9 g of fat
3 g of saturated fat
90 mg sodium
310 mg potassium
18 g sugar
7 g protein

Ensure has:
7 g of fat
1 g saturated fat
190 mg sodium (big jump!!!)
390 mg potassium
22 g sugar
9 g protein

So maybe for the rats Pediasure is a better option?
 
I was thinking more about the fact that the Ensure is higher protein and higher sugar. Both bad for ratties, right?
 
Don't babies/children need a higher fat content for good brain development ... or something? Sorry, it's been a long time since my babies were babies.
