We have a section on Catsey for other pets and animals Sarah, maybe you could post some pics of your rats sometime!

Re: Is her diet suitable?


About switching to a senior diet, I second Fran that it's probably not necessary. My oldest ones died at 19 1/2 and 20, and were never on senior food. Mine get 2 3 oz. tins of moist daily and about a cupful of dry. Does she have access to fresh water?

Yes constant access to fresh water, she tends to eat her biscuits quite quickly in one go, but i'll make a point of feeding her wet food each evening when my rats get their fresh food.

Re: Is her diet suitable?


I don't think Go Cat is the best food either. I would switch her to something like royal canin, James Wellbeloved, etc and as others have suggested some wet food such as whiskas or felix.

Shame that she is confined to the conservatory. Having said that thogh, mine spend a lot of the time in there but do have the run of the house.

Shes not confined to the conservatory completely, she is queen of the entire neighbourhood!

I'll try to switch her, i'll over her owner the chance for me to get it when i order my own pet food online, i'm sure it would work out cheaper.
