Is it ok to feed rats white chocolate on rare occasions?

Chocolate generally isn't good for pets because it contains two chemical stimulants, theobromine and caffeine, that can make them sick if enough is ingested. Cacao powder has the highest concentration of these chemicals, then dark chocolate, then milk chocolate, etc. White chocolate has only trace amounts because it has no cacao powder in it, just cacao butter.





Rats eat what people eat - it's part of why they're such a successful species. So most things that we eat are just fine for them. White chocolate does have a lot of fat and sugar, so you don't want to use it as a staple, but it's perfectly fine as an occasional small treat. Don't give them a big chunk of it because eating too much fat at one time can give them diarrhea.Is it ok to feed rats white chocolate on rare occasions?
You're not supposed to give them stuff like that but i have 4 and i do it occasionally. As long as its not often and only a little bit, it's probably not gonna do any damage. My rats love kool whip and chocolate pudding too, lol.


I also heard that too much fatty foods can accelerate the growth of mammary tumors so if they have one I wouldn't give them any.Is it ok to feed rats white chocolate on rare occasions?
mine have had dazzle drops, %26amp; milkybar and the biggest choc face is 2 in may so I think its OK rats are rats not dogs or cats and there is not much they can't have they are more suited to human foods than any other pet out there.
no


but you can feed them dark chocolate on occasions





but the only reason why you would is to help with breathing problems if they have it
i heard that mice LOVE chocolate, and rats are pretty close, so i guess you could give your rats chocolate on rare occasions.
NO!!! Chocolate will make it very sick and possibly even kill it. Very bad idea!
obviously YOU havent been doing any research at all... don't blame us if your poor rats die. RODENTS CAN NOT EAT CHOCOLATE!
NO! It willmake them reaallly sick, and if you feed it too much, they will die!!!!!
