Cheese is perfectly fine in small amounts!!! The only time you really want to avoid giving diary to rats is if they are dealing with an URI. Sorry, but I had to chime in there.

Also, as far as corn, if you ever offer it make sure it is fresh! I cannot stress this enough. Dried corn can contain a number of different molds and mildew, parasites and aflatoxins. Not to mention it is very hard to digest. One of the reasons why the store brand rat foods suck. Wanna know why rats don't eat the alfalfa bits? They can't digest it.
