Food For Young Rats

[Austin-Ratty]

What should you feed young rats? Ive heard dog food with 14 % protein.
I just want to make sure when i get my ratties for Christmas.

I strongly recommend a food made specifically for rats. Dog food is not energy dense enough for rats.
If you can find Oxbow Regal rat or Harlan Teklad it would be the best food. But they are not available everywhere.

For babies, I would recommend a higher protein level like 18%.
