WHAT FOODS DO RATS EAT?
Rats are omnivores, meaning they will eat just about anything. Some rats prefer meat over other foods, while other rats prefer grains, fruits and vegetable matter over meats. Rats may eat birds, fish and smaller rodents as snacks. Rats also like to feed on garbage, if they are living near humans. Dumpster’s provide an easy and plentiful source of rat food. Land fills, garbage dumps and unkempt yards are full of rat food, also.
