What different types of food bowls are there for Rats?

There are many different rat feeders. We initially distinguish between a food bowl that you can put down and one that you can hang up. The hanging version is often made of metal. A food bowl that you have to hang has advantages over the placeable food bowl. This way the animals cannot knock over the food bowl. A disadvantage, however, is that not all animals can easily access it.

A feeding bowl that has to be put down can be approached from all sides and should preferably be made of earthenware. This ensures that the feeder is heavier and is not easily knocked over by the animals.

A plastic food bowl is often available in many beautiful colors and is easy to clean.

Are snack balls and plates fun for Rats?

A nice variation on the food bowl is the snack ball or the snack plate. This is actually a food bowl with a twist. The animals have to make an effort to get to their food. They have to get the ball moving and then also in a certain way so that food comes out. We only recommend this way of feeding in addition to an existing feeding bowl, so that the animals receive the correct amount of food every day.

Although Rats are social animals, they don't always like to share a snack ball. It is therefore good to keep an eye on this when you first give a snack ball to the animals. This is also a nice way to see how the animals behave in this situation, do they like to work together or each for themselves?

With a snack plate several animals can participate, this is a team effort because there is room for several animals. Everyone tries their own hatch. The motivation increases enormously as soon as one of the Rats manages to get his treat and runs off with it. This shows the other Rats that there really is something delicious hidden. Place a small amount of food in each hatch and let the animals work for a living.

Can the location of the feeding trough be changed?

We are certainly not saying that the food bowl should be thrown overboard immediately, but you could place it in different places in the enclosure. One time on the upper plateau, then again at the very bottom of the enclosure and for the advanced, perhaps even hidden behind a house. Let them look for their food. Just make sure you don't make it too difficult; they must be able to find their food and it must not take too long.
