What type of yoghurt is safe for rats?

So i heard that rats eat yoghurt. i got some at home but i was wondering if i could let them have some. it contains: skim milk, full cream milk,lactobacillus, Acidophilus Culture and Sucrose. i also got some greek yoghurt and sheeps milk yoghurt. help me plzWhat type of yoghurt is safe for rats?
While dairy in general isn't good for rats, a bit of yogurt on occasion is fine. We give our little guys yogurt with live cultures when they've needed antibiotics.





It's best to avoid sucrose or other sweeteners %26amp; go with low fat or nonfat yogurts. Since goat's milk is more digestable than cow's milk, I wonder if sheep's milk would also be preferable. We give our rats unflavored nonfat yogurt, including Greek yogurt. They love it, with or without fruit added.
