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.Originally Posted by moosmom
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.

Good! Oranges have been proven to cause cancer in male rats.
Also, try the brick thing. If he is squirmy you do not want to wind up chopping off a toe. Trust me, it does happen. Use the brick or have a vet do it next time. Also, you want to avoid using a septic pencil. They are painful.

Wow, I'm learning alot here. Thanks everyone!
I've been on the lookout for a brick (a loose one no one will notice gone). I think I'm going to let the vet clip his nails till I can find one.

I used to play "bobbing for peas" with my ratties. I'd put an inch or less of water in a dish and sprinkle frozen peas in the bottom of it. They LOVED diving in and "snorkeling" to find the peas!
Thank you Wolf_Q!

I wonder if Winkie would go for the pea bobbing??
