RAT FOOD ANALYSIS:
Fruits

Apples
Apricots
Bananas – but not green bananas

Grapes – purple grapes are believed to help prevent cancer
Rasberries
Blackberries
Boysenberries
Peaches – without the pit
Cranberries (and cranberry juice)
Plums – excluding the stone
Pomegranates
Pears
Kiwi
Papaya

Vegetables

Broccoli
Carrots
Cucumbers
Peas – Especially frozen for those hot summer days (Submitted by Forensic)
Romaine lettuce – It is recommended to avoid iceberg lettuce as it has little nutritional value
Kale
Green beans – cooked
Corn (on the cob, frozen, or from a can)
Green, red, or yellow peppers (not spicy!)
Pumpkin – and the seeds (in moderation)
Cauliflower
Butternut Squash – cooked
cooked mushrooms – in moderation

Miscellaneous/Treats

Chicken bones – Make sure these aren’t too greasy or fatty
Crickets – Apparently, rats will eat these? I’ve never done it, I don’t need crickets running around in my room. Good for protein
Dog biscuits – ratnutrition.com recommends ‘Great Choice Healthy Treats
Hard-boiled eggs – I’ve heard these are good for pregnant rats who need the extra protein/fat. However, these should not become a regular part of the diet but rather just a treat for regular rats.
Popcorn – Unsalted and un-buttered
Yogurt drops – Rats love these. At least, mine do.
Yogurt – a small amount of probiotic yogurt is good for gut flora
Cheese – small amount in moderation, preferably soy based

What your rats should never eat

Fruit
Apple seeds – Apple seeds contain a small amount of cyanide which could be harmful to your rat. (Original post by Nightfallspy)
Green bananas – Inhibit starch digestion
Mango – Contains d-limonene which can cause kidney cancer in male rats (Thank you Darksong17!)
Oranges – The white part on the peelings and outer layer of a peeled orange is harmful to male rats. It seems to be ok for females, but I just stay away from citrus fruits in general.
Orange juice – Contains d-limonene which can cause kidney cancer in male rats

Vegetables

Raw brussel sprouts – Fine after cooking, though
Green potato skin and eyes – I will not eat them and I will not eat green potato skin and eyes
Raw artichokes – Inhibit protein digestion
Raw onion – Can lead to anemia and an upset stomach
Raw red cabbage – Fine after cooking
Raw sweet potato – Once again, fine after cooking
Rhubarb – High levels of oxalates which bind up calcium
