Rats do not have to worry about cholestorol. It is in their body but they don't usually have a problem with it like humans do. At least this is what my rat vet said. I have vet training but I don't remember ever hearing about the cholestorol.

All I know is that my ratties love them and they have never been a problem for them. It gives them the protein that they do not get from a regular bag of rodent food.

I once ate nothing but eggs for 2 months straight and drank nothing but fruit punch and Dr. Pepper. Crazy? No, I was just craving eggs for some reason ( I wasn't pregnant) and I couldn't stop eating them. It helped me lose 15 pounds though and I have kept it off since and that was like 5 years ago. Needless to say but I am a junk food addict. I have to have my Del Taco and Wendys. The funny thing is that I don't ever gain weight. I guess I am just very very fortunate.
