Rat Food and Menu Builder

Pick ingredients from each group, choose how much of each, add the optional “boosters” that carry the things pellets miss, set how much to make, and get a recipe, shopping list, and rough cost, with a built-in safety check. On forms: grains go in dry (rats are granivores); pulses, beans, and starchy roots need cooking; fruit, veg, and greens can be fresh or freeze-dried; feed fermented foods unheated to keep the cultures alive. Honest caveat: targets are extrapolated from the laboratory (Norway) rat; weigh your rats and adjust. Prefer a quick reference? See the filterable food list.

Does your rat have a special need? Tick any that apply. The builder adds tailored, severity-graded guidance and flags conflicts. None of this replaces a rat-savvy vet.
