When I adopted my 2 new girls Mint and Mary Jane, the previous owners said that they rescued them from a breeder that wasn’t the best. They said that they fed them on children’s cereal so they were quite small. Obviously,this makes me a bit worried for their health and their growth.
They seem to be very happy rats, it was mentioned before that they had a RI which had cleared up and so they sneeze from time to time. And they are quite thin, their bones around the neck area stand out a bit. But other then that they seem to be fine. They are very friendly and playful and they eat like pigs


I was wondering if what I’ve got them on would be enough to aid their growth or whether I should be putting them on a higher protein diet or maybe use supplements or specific mix. I want to give them the best chance given their rough start and want them to be healthy rats to help boost their immune system and try avoid any RI they might be prone too!
