When I had rats, I created their diet from scratch and this is what they got: Clover, Coreopsis flowers, walnuts, pecans, roasted peanuts (in shell),meal worms (not every day),broccoli,kale,collards cooked. Cooked chicken wing with the bones to gnaw on (sometimes), sunflower seeds,cooked beans,sometimes cooked brown rice, blueberries, left overs from my dinner. They also got to clean casserole dishes before they were washed, and dinner plates. They loved this. They were also given pecans and walnuts in the shell with a small crack,which they had to work on to get at the nut meat.
Here is the set up I had atop a door. Notice the "fence".
