Rat snacks
Rat snacks
For my adoption packs I love to include homemade rat treats, and I'm not one to gatekeep things I've made for my rats.
Most of it is eyeballed and there really is no right or wrong way to make them, as the rats dont seem to care if they're super bready or more like a muffin.
The baking process is the same, so I'll pop that in last. But these are some of the recipes I like to use.
Peanut & banana rat treats
2 tablespoon of peanut butter - this must be sugar and salt free, as some artificial sweetners are potentially dangerous for rats to consume.
2 mashed bananas
Cup of flour (any type is fine)
1 egg (optional)
1 cup of milk (any type is fine)
Banana berry treats
1 cup of frozen berries - either mashed or whole
1-2 mashed bananas
Cup of flour (any type is fine)
1 egg (optional)
1 cup of milk (any type is fine)
Chocolate treats
1 tablespoon milo powder
1 cup of dark chocolate chips
Cup of flour (any type is fine)
1 egg (optional)
1 cup of milk (any type is fine)
Pumpkin treats
1 cup of mashed pumpkin
1 cup of flour (any type is fine)
1 egg (optional)
1 cup of milk (any type is fine)
These recipes are SO chaotic - I mostly just muck around with making them every time. But I do try and follow a similar process every time.
I preheat the oven to 160C on fan bake.
Onto a baking tray lined with baking paper you can either:
Spoon blobs the size of a $2 coin
Use a piping bag to pipe small cookies
Add to a silicone mould
If using a silicone mould, just grease it in your preferred way (butter, oil, flour etc).
Pop baking tray into the oven for around 10-20 minutes.
Typically the biscuits dont keep super well, like any other kind of fresh baking. But if in doubt, keep them in the fridge and dispose of any uneaten snacks within a few days.
For extra longevity you can dehydrate them until crispy.
