Tropical Carnival is the other brand of bagged rat food that I buy because my rats like it and I can use it sparingly as a treat for them along with the Oxbow rat food that I give to them every day.
Rats like a variety of foods and I see no reason not to give them a treat here and there. A small bag like this one will last me all month with 4 rats. They get treats but not the same one every day and some days their treats will be a yogie or pudding but my rats like this so I keep buying it for them.
I use this treat along with others to hide in their cage to give them something to do, to hide inside toilet paper rolls, to hide at the bottom of the food dish *they can smell it down there and always find it* or to help a new rat get used to me by hand feeding and using as a treat to get them to climb out of the cage.
They always smell fresh when the bag is opened and have pretty colors that can be strung up on rat toys for them to play with and bite off.
We hide crackers for our puppy to find too. I think it's a good way to introduce some fun for animals.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great way to let them have fun and get a snack
