Can rats eat popcorn?
Yes, but only a little: rats can eat popcorn. Woodgreen includes plain popcorn with no added sugar, salt or oil in its homemade food mix. The Zurich animal welfare society (Zürcher Tierschutz) calls puffed corn, unsweetened and without oil or salt, a well-suited treat.
How to serve it: no sugar, salt or oil (Woodgreen), as a small treat
