What are some treats to feed your pet rat?

Dandylion leaves.
Peas - frozen peas - put some in a plastic jug, pour boiling water over them. Add cold water and drain. Rats love peas!
Sweetcorn - in any form. They love it.
For a Christmas treat - whole nuts in shells - hazelnuts, almonds, walnuts, brazils, or Halloween peanuts in shells They have great fun stealing and stashing them. And chewing through the shells is great work for their teeth.
I like to make “homemade” yogurt drops, I use Tillamook yogurt (because it’s local and has live cultures in it) and I just use a spoon to make slightly messy yogurt drops on a glass plate (I’ve read an icing tube and wax paper works well too for perfect little drops) and slip it into the freezer for a couple hours to freeze up a bit (they freeze pretty well after like an hour though if you’re impatient like I am) and then I’ll just scrape a few off with a spoon and give them to my rats and they love them! Especially on a hot day. I’ve tried both peach and strawberry yogurt thus far and they seem to love both, I feel like these are a great alternative to store bought yogurt drops.
Some rats can actually have a hard time with nuts and diary, so be careful. Yoghurt has less lactore than milk so it is safer. You should also avoid fizzy drinks (though I don t see any reason to give them anything but water) and sticky foods, since they can t burp or throw up. If I give a rat peanut butter on naan, I rub the peanut butter off so there is almost nothing on there- then they can t get a gob in their mouth and choke.
I never saw the point in feeding sugary snacks because rats love pretty much everything. Give them part of a brussels sprout and they ll be PUMPED. Fresh veggies are the best. Fruit, meat, or egg servings should be much smaller so your little rat doesn t get fat.
Cheerios and raisins are two favorites.
Dry pasta, peanuts(nonsalted) fresh veggies like broccolli and fruits(not citrus). Even small amounts of yogurt(the size of a pea).
They can't resist a bit of cracker with peanut butter, just not too much.
