I think my girls are going to be turning a year old in August (when i got them, i was told they were around a month old and that was in the beginning of sept., last year).
Can anybody give me a safe rattie birthday cake recipe.
Thank you!

What I do for my girlies is make a carrot cake or angel food cake batter and then put a bit into a cupcake pan! I give them a lil icing, but not too much. Then you can bake the rest for yourself or somebody that would like it.

Okay, thank you.

carrot cake seems like a better idea

Why? What's wrong with angel food cake?

The sugar in it.
Too much sugar is not good for rats.
I would go with carrot cake too.

However I admit,I have given my rats cookies and cupcakes for their birthdays! It is a treat...I rarely do that tho.

I think it's fine for them to have a very small amount of stuff like that. Just like us, too much sugar is not good for them. They are much smaller than we are, so a whole cookie to them is like an entire cake to us. If you give them stuff like that, really just one or two small bites is plenty.

Would a Weight Watchers Carrot Cake be ok? It's only 1pt (lol)! and it's good for people.
