Treats are vital for us pet owners for the happiness or our ratties- well, really they just like them so much. Treats can often be used for rewards and in training/socialization. They can also be a reward for being so darn cute. Always feed your rat treats in moderation. There are many commerically available treats that can get expensive and last only a few minutes. But what are some treats that we can give them that are cheaper and perhaps a little healthier for them?
