What different types of food bowls are there for Rats?

There are many different types of food bowls for rats. We will first distinguish between a food bowl that you can place down and one that you can hang up. The hanging version is often made of metal. A food bowl that you have to hang up has advantages over the placeable food bowl. For example, the animals cannot knock over the food bowl. A disadvantage, however, is that not all animals can easily reach it.

A food bowl that is to be placed can be approached from all sides and should preferably be made of earthenware. This ensures that the food bowl is heavier and is not easily knocked over by the animals.

A plastic feeding bowl is often available in many beautiful colours and is easy to clean.

Are snack balls and plates fun for Rats?

A fun variation on the food bowl is the snack ball or snack plate. This is actually a food bowl with a twist. The animals have to make an effort to get to their food. They have to get the ball moving and then in a certain way so that food comes out. We only recommend this way of feeding in addition to an existing food bowl, so that the animals get the right amount of food every day.

Although Rats are social animals, they do not always like to share a snack ball. It is therefore good to keep an eye on this when you give a snack ball to the animals for the first time. This is also a fun way to see how the animals behave in this situation, do they like to work together or every man for himself?

With a snack board, multiple animals can participate, this is a team effort because there is room for multiple animals. Everyone tries out their own hatch. The motivation increases enormously as soon as one of the Rats manages to get their piece and runs off with it. This shows the other Rats that there really is something tasty hidden. Place a small amount of food in each hatch and let the animals work for their food.

Can the location of the feeding bowl be changed?

We are certainly not saying that the food bowl should be thrown overboard immediately, but you could place it in different places in the enclosure. Sometimes on the top plateau, then again at the bottom of the enclosure and for the more advanced, perhaps even hidden behind a house. Let them search for their food. Make sure that you do not make it too difficult; they have to be able to find their food and it should not take too long.
