I Thought This Would Be Pretty Neat To Put Out. For Those Of You That Keep Rats For Feeding Purposes The Best Way To Make Sure Your Rats Are In Excellent Health Is Simply Feed Foods With High Vitamin Values. You Re Probaly Wondering What I Mean By This And I Will Tell You. What I Do For My Rats Is I Grind Up 16 Multivitamins And Flaxseed Oil And Sprinkle Their Feed And Within A Week I Ve Noticed An 15 Gram Increase In Their Weight. Trust Me U Are What U Eat And This Can Certainly Prove For Healthy Ball Python
