I am thinking about breeding rats and also maybe having them as pets. I have a few questions not mentioned in care sheets.

1. Can i feed a Mazuri rat lab block as a staple diet? I will give them fruits and veggies every once in a while but will that work if i dont want to give them fruits and veggies? Also, do i have to freeze the lab block?

2. What size cage would work for 2 adult rats? (im thinkin the wire/mesh cages not aquariums)

3. Do i just get the rats from a pet store like petsmart?

4. What kind of accessories do they need(hides?, chew stuff?)

thats all the qs so far. if anyone has any advice let me know
