Yes!! My rats LOVE pretzels!! If I give a pretzel to Dubs, my Dumbo dwarf Rat, he goes crazy about it and once he's done eating he'll come back for more!!

You should be careful about two things tho. You should be careful about two things tho.

First of all, make sure to take the salt off the pretzel. Reason: Rats only sweat through the soles of their feet and very little at that, so when you give them more salt, or I guess extra salt, they have more salt in them and that's not genuinely healthy for them.

And second of all, you don't want to give them too much. Make sure you don't over feed them with pretzels. I have to be careful because Dubs will just constantly come back to me asking for more. At least I know he loves them!! 😊

Most definitely. Rats like just about everything, and a pretzel is quite a good little chew toy for them. This should be a treat, however, as they tend to be quite salty and that in excess is not good for them.

You can give it a piece of cheese to snack on. Honestly I don't think cheese is the best snack for a rat. I'd rather give it yogurt or sunflower seeds. That is what I always give my rat to snack on. So i guess you can try all three yogurt , cheese , and sunflower seeds and see what it likes.

How do you get your sister to give you her pet rats?

You either ask her nicely if she'll share them with you or offer to buy one. If they are her pets and she loves them why would she give them away? Maybe you could save up and buy your own pet rat if you are mature enough to care for one. You sound young so maybe you should ask your parents if they think you are ready for a pet rat.
