Question
I have heard that bananas, cheerios and grapes are good treats, but my question is how many times a day, week or month should these be given and how much as one of my little baby girls is a little scarf monster.

Answer
Hi Sherri!  

Thanks for caring enough about your critters to research subjects such as this. People like you that expand their knowledge on proper rat care make great rat keepers! Your rats are lucky to have you!

Anyhow, on my website is a page dedicated to proper diet and treats.
Here is the url right to that page. There, you will get an idea of how much is ok for snacks and also get ideas for snacks as well.
