How much and how many times a day do I feed the 3 rats?  They seem to be
wanting more to eat.  I know they have little tummies.  I recently gave
them 3 blueberry yogurt drops and some popcorns.  In the afternoon  I
give them about 1/4 cup each of their food.  The food last until
tomorrow morning.   For snacks before I go to bed, I give them 3 little
squares of cheese nips (crackers).  Either way this crackers, oats,
cherrios, or cornflakes.

Hi,

With Rats they need a constant supply of Rat Mix available.  There are
plenty of people here who will tell you the recipes they use.  It is
pointless telling you what I use as the brand names etc wouldn't mean
anything to anyone not living here..LOL.  Fresh fruit and veges each day
though.  Avoid anything fatty, salty, or sugary.  The odd treat is OK
though.

Regards Kate

neither of those are really good choices.

check out this site for a homemade diet
<http://ratsrule.com/diet.html>

harlan-teklad lab blocks are probably the best rat food available. you
can order them through kim's ark: <http://www.kimsarkrescue.org>

my rats eat a mix similar to suebee's plus harlan 2018. plus whatever
i'm eating. they always have blocks available.

The lab blocks are included in their both bag of foods.   The Reggie
kind is very expensive one.   I'll check out the site you sent me.  

Thanks.
