Is cheese bad for rats?

I know some certain foods are good and some are bad for rats. does anyone know what foods are best for me to give to my ratties?Is cheese bad for rats?
I agree, cheese really isn't very good for rats. I have 7 rats. I feed them a pelleted diet called Katee FortiDiet. I believe ZuPreem also makes a good pelleted diet. If you can find any sort of lab diet or lab blocks for rats, this is also good. Pelleted and block food is good for them because it has all of the nutrients they need. If you buy the food with seeds, they will often eat just the very fatty and not very nutritious sunflower seeds. Better ideas for treats are peanuts and peanut butter, small pieces of fruit or vegetable like carrot or apple, unfrosted cereal like cheerios, or a few occational kibbles of dry dog food. Don't give your rats anything with carbonation (beer, soda, etc). And remember, give treats just every so often. You don't want fat, unhealthy rats.Is cheese bad for rats?
okay chees is fin for rats here are some other things you can give them:


apples


carrots


bread (if they'll eat it)


chips


just don't give them any poison or any beverages we drink other than water!!
give them a little square of cheese every day. it depends how many you have
Give them rat food and cheese only if you have to. The love cheese but it isnt really good for them.
dairy products are not good for rats. humans are the only mammal on earth that consume milk or milk products after they are weaned. in most animals milk will cause diaheraa and dehydration. aviod it if you can.
