Eggs while eating Oxbow

[ThePokemonMaster]

Are eggs appropriate to feed rats that are eating Oxbow? I've read in several places here how good eggs are.

 

[Petunia]

how old are the rats? for young or pregnant rats, I think some ppl will give a bit of eggs as an extra protein source but I"m not sure it's needed.

maybe if the rat is under weight?

I'm not sure of their exact age, just that they're young. I'm skeptical that they need it, but you never know.

I only give scrambled eggs on rare occasions as a special treat, OR if I have an ill or very old rat who isn't eating well; those who aren't eating much almost always go for them, always a relief when you're worried about lack of intake. But I'm sure a lot of foods work that way.

Thanks, for now I'll stick with Oxbow, veggies, and fruit.

I have another question, what baby food do you all recommend?

I usually buy the organic baby food that comes in those squish packets.

they're about $1.25 each from my local grocery store. Usually I only give them a little or to mix it with icky medicine.

Also, baby cereal is a favourite too. Carbs are really good for rats, it's how they get their energy source.

Mine love crunching on uncooked penne pasta. I think the ridges make it easier for them to hold on to. I also give them Earth' s Best organic baby food if I'm feeling lazy or running late and I don't want yo prepare veggies.
