Yeah I was too young to think of that. he lived like 10 years I think, my mom was mad at the animal store person because they said he would live a few years haha. Eventually he got some huge tumor when he was old and died. Well by died my dad shot him but he was getting uncomfortable. If I get another one I"ll give him cheese, salami, even some cheesecake on the side sometimes.

Those seed mixes usually aren't the best for them because those seeds are full of fats and more like feeding them junk food all the time. But of your rat lived a long happy life, then it couldn't have been all that bad. They are omnivores that eat tons of crap in the wild.
