As mentioned in my previous thread I am looking to get rats. I have been debating to get them as I think I would personally have trouble keeping up with their diet and saving up for vet bills. Some people have recommended kind of buying in bulk and freezing some mixed vegetables in a bowl, I think if I were able to do this then I could keep up with their dietary needs.
My question is: can I just put it all in one bowl and put Saran Wrap on top and set it in the freezer? Now to address my topic title. I was wondering what types of food to buy? I know some foods have pesticides on it specifically meant for rats, does organic mean food is 100% safe?
How would I throughly wash food? Also would I have to wash say a water melon slice? Or how would I make sure that pesticides etc. have not been absorbed deep into the food? I think this is the main reason why I am having diet problems as I am super paranoid.
Also how do I know what items need to be cooked? Also I have heard that most nuts need to be roasted and unsalted, why do they need to be cooked? Also is arrowhead mills and good place to get stuff? I have seen many rat treats for sale on there such as organic puffed rice and organic puffed kamut.
Sorry for so many questions! Thanks so so much for your time reading this and response!
