My qeustion is, How do I switch them over? Do I need to do it gradually like a dog or can I just switch them? Also, can I feed them live crickets?
I don't mean to startle you or anything, but that is what happened to all my rats before they passed away. They lost a shocking amount of weight, and had sprase hair.

Yes, it is best to slowly switch them over like a dog & cat. It upset their tummies if you alter their diet suddenly.

I personally feed my ratties Subee's Mix, and oh my do they LOVE it!! So if you are looking for a good food that the ratties will DEVOUR try Subee's Mix. My rats eat it all up in seconds, they loooooooooooooove it!! The ingredients are cheap to buy, and the mix lasts for a long time! I have seven ratties, and the mix lasted me about 1 1/2 months.
