The last mix is in some of the other foods,so it could be bought on its own or already in another mix.You can feed seeds by hand just as you could for hamsters,which is an excellent treat without having to use sugary storebought treats as you probably already know

Treats really depend on which mix you choose,since you can add extra seeds of different types or a variety of safe nuts.In general the same nuts that are hamster safe are also rat safe.Just avoid unnecessary added sugars,artificial preservatives(BHA/BHT/ethoxyquin,unspecified antioxidants and such which are likely BHA/BHT/ethoxyquin,and sulfur dioxide are most common),and pretty much unsafe foods would be mostly the same as hamsters!

Would you suggest as an everyday feed, the science selective pellets, some seeds/nuts and some fruit or veggies, or would that be too much? I'm getting all the bags you suggested and I was thinking of giving a pinch of a different bag each day? As well as fruit or veg and the pellets.
