We used to give our grow out rats lots of fruit and vegies in addition to their rodent pellets. Also as said above keeping growout rats in a larger enclosure seems to help. Dave made enclosure out of half a rainwater tank with a mesh lid which had lift up doors so you could clean it out easily. But then, back in those days we had lots and lots of ratties. Could be because they get more exercise hence need more to eat maybe?? And make sure a good supply of water as well. Do not feed them bread. Apparently not good for them. Cheers Cheryl
