Well, I'm a rat granny! I arrived home from work to 14 healthy looking
pinkies. All had full white bellies. Piper had 15, but one didn't make it.
I changed the paper toweling in their box , gave Piper fresh food and water,
and left her to her mothering. Having only one eye hasn't slowed her down.

Peanut butter as plain spread? That's not good, many rats have choked on the
peanut butter spread. But peanut butter spread thinly on whole wheat toast
is good.
You could add scrambled eggs, or hard boiled eggs, tuna, chicken... kitty
food is good too.
They must looks soooo adorable!

Peanutbutter on whole grain bread... <imagines Piper with peanutbutter,
licking like a dog or cat with peanut butter> I had tried scrambled egg,
but they didn't seem to like it, but I'll try boiled egg, ty !

lentils and chickpeas have nice protein amount in them, and
they are quite nourishing for mum (or you can try soy or tofu
stuff)
(do I look like I try to sneak healthy veg food into your home ?
naaah...)
