Can I Make My Own Rat/Mouse Diet?

( Date Added: Tue Jan 14 2003   Visits: 310)  

Rats are not terribly picky eaters and will eat just about anything. Mice are a little pickier, but both species, like humans, tend to love what is not good for them. Good nutrition is a primary determinant of good health. Good nutrition starts with a diet that meets all of the minimum daily nutrient requirements. The minimum daily nutrient requirements, the recommended daily allowances (RDA), of the rat are listed in the table below. The mouse RDA is very similar to that of the rat's. Also listed is the human RDA; both RDAs are normalized to a 10% moisture content.

According to our ichthyologist at the University of Guam, fish flatulence per se has not been studied, although people have investigated fish digestion. They find that although most fish have alkaline intestinal environments like our own, coral-eating fish have acidic intestinal contents. The acid serves to dissolve coral skeletal material. Coral has the same composition as Tums (calcium carbonate). One product of the reaction between acid and calcium carbonate is carbon dioxide gas. Therefore, it is logical to assume that coral-eating fish fart a lot.

Do turtles fart?

Yes, turtles do fart, and their farts smell incredibly bad, as do the farts of snakes. In fact, it is my opinion, based on personal experience with reptiles and not on any formal research, that many reptiles use farts as a weapon. Reptile farts smell so bad that sometimes you can tell that one is nearby in the woods, even on a windy day, before you can see the animal. One day I was hiking through the woods in Arkansas with a friend and I told my friend, "I smell a snake fart." A second later, the snake crawled across the path. Astounding but true!
