Cheerio!

We feed the rats a mixture of lab blocks, monkey chow, seeds, dried fruit, and various other things (we buy their food mixed at the store). They also get fresh vegetables daily (cauliflower and carrots seem to be their favorite), as well as fresh fruit when we have it on hand. Their favorite overall treat though, seems to be Cheerios. They will stop whatever they are doing and drop whatever they are eating if they hear us open the ziplock bag of Cheerios that we keep by their cage. It seems like a pretty boring cereal to me but they love it.

Saké carefully holds onto her Cheerio.
