Bon Apetite on the Rattie Treats!
Being the wonderful rat parent that you are, you give your rats all the BEST foods and the best balanced diet right? Just think about how much you like to have an occasional treat; now put yourself in your rats “shoes”! Here are some great treat ideas for your rats!
RAT CAKE (Humans like it TOO!)
Real fast and easy to make.....doesn't look like much but is a very good cake and not *too* fattening :))
1 1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup butter (or margarine in a pinch)
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla (be generous...LOVE that vanilla)
*Mix the dry, blend the wet, and then mix together. You will have a stiff lump of batter that will be difficult to spread. Bake in 9" round pan at 350F for 25-35 minutes should be very light golden brown.
*The cake will be dry and thin, the trick is in the topping.
Juice 1 1/2 oranges, 1/2 lemon, and 1/2 cup sugar. When cake has cooled stir juice and sugar constantly as you spoon slowly over cake. (Will take a while to soak in, spread evenly) This is a fantastic coffee cake, no idea what it is called or anything, but it doesn't freeze well or keep too long because of the juice, best eaten fresh within 2 days or so.
Rats adore it! Lots of sniffing noses while it bakes!

YUMMIE RATTIE ROLLS
1 tsp. overripe banana
1/8 tsp. butterscotch flavored sundae topping
1/2 tsp. (or more) toasted wheat germ
all-purpose flour as needed
*Mash the banana, and then mix with butterscotch syrup. Sprinkle with wheat germ and mix. Keep adding wheat germ until the mixture is semi-firm. Sprinkle some flour on waxed paper and shape the dough into the shape of a Tootsie Roll. Sprinkle with more flour and cut the roll into slices, using flour to keep them from sticking together. Give a slice to your rat! You can wrap any left over "cookies" in waxed paper and refrigerate them for up to four days, or they can be frozen.

PEANUT BUTTER CRUNCH
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 T. crunchy reduced-fat peanut butter
1 T. honey
1/3 cup water
*Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Grease cookie sheet (or use a spray).
Mix all ingredients with a pastry blender. Shape into 1/2" balls and place on cookie sheet. These do not spread so can be placed close together.
Bake 45 minutes; leave in oven until oven cools to dry out and be crunchy.
Makes approximately 60 1/2" BALLS
