ELEMENT YEAR FORTUNE

Men born in the Rat year are clever and adapt quickly to new environments. They are creative great at taking advantage of opportunities. However, they sometimes lack the courage to do so. Although they have great ideas, they might not be suitable for leadership positions.

Women born in the Rat year are the traditional women. They love keeping things organized and place great value on the family. Everything is taken care of by them and there is no need for their husband to worry. Outside of home, they’re also someone with a sense of responsibility and ability.

Rats will generally only prey on chicks and eggs, but if you have a serious infestation and food is scarce, they can also raid your coop at night and attack your juvenile and adult birds. Rats kill by biting the head or neck, like those from the weasel family.


Feeding Pet Rats Other Foods
Rats benefit from eating a variety of vegetables, fruits, and other fresh foods. This is great news because it's fun to share things you are eating with your rat. Keep in mind though that serving sizes are pretty small (as in a teaspoon or half-inch cube) for a rat so avoid giving large amounts of fruits or vegetables in each meal or diarrhea may result. The following is a list of treats you may wish to try, keeping in mind that feeding a wide variety of foods is the best way to ensure optimum nutrition and health:

Fruit: apples, cherries, grapes, bananas, strawberries and other berries, melons, plums
Vegetables: broccoli, potatoes, peas, carrot, cooked sweet potato, kale, parsley, bok choy, squash
Cooked liver and other very lean cooked meats
Whole wheat pasta and bread
Cooked beans (including soy)
Yogurt (especially with live cultures)
Brown rice
Unsweetened breakfast cereals

On the flip side, there are also foods you should not feed your pet rat:
  • Chocolate.
  • Raw beans.
  • Raw sweet potato.
  • Cabbage and Brussels sprouts.
  • Green potatoes.
  • Sweet, sugary treats and any other human "junk food"
  • Caffeinated beverages.
  • Carbonated drinks.
