Gör egen utan det till dem? Minikroppkaka? =)

Lite lök då ock då är ingen fara att ge enligt The scuttling gourmet…självklart med måtta :)

Är det samma för råttor som hund att lök lagras i levern(?) väldigt länge?

I can't seem to find any information on their effects on rats. If rats do experience toxicity at a similar comparable level to dogs, a small bite of onion bagel should not be harmful. BUT I have no evidence that their toxicity is similar, OR that they are even toxic to rats. So what I'm hoping for is: A good website that lists toxic substances to rats, ALONG WITH the lethal dose and safe dose. A scientific website would be ideal. or failing to find that, A list of toxic substances or failing to find that, Anecdotal evidence from people who've fed onions and onion-containing food to their rats.

Here are some exceptions and notables: raw dry beans or peanuts—contains antinutrients that destroy vitamin A and enzymes needed to digest protein and starches, and causes red blood cells to clump raw sweet potato—contains compounds that form cyanide in the stomach green bananas—inhibits starch-digesting enzymes green potato skin and eyes—contain solanine, a toxin wild insects—can carry internal parasites and diseases raw bulk tofu—can contain bacteria, packaged raw tofu is safe orange juice—forbidden for male rats only, d-limonene in the skin oil, which gets into the orange juice during squeezing, can cause kidney damage and kidney cancer due to a protein that only male rats have in their kidneys. Pieces of the orange fruit are okay if you wash the orange-skin oil off of it after peeling it. Foods to Feed with Caution carbonated beverages—rats can’t burp (but they can fart!) Dried corn can contain high levels of fungal contaminates which has been shown to cause liver cancer in rats. Corn also contains high levels of both nitrates and amines. These two compounds can combine in the stomach to form nitrosamines which are carcinogenic. Other foods high in nitrates include beets, celery, eggplant, lettuce, cucumber, radishes, spinach, collards and turnip greens. Therefore, I suggest you limit the amount of these foods in your rat’s diet. Some fresh corn is fine, but if you feed your rats blocks, try to avoid brands which have corn as the first ingredient. http://www.ratfanclub.org/diet.html Onion bagels should be fine. My rats have tended to turn away from onions, prolly because of the strong smell, but some rats may enjoy them.

Green potato skins are exactly the food I would accidentally poison them with.

SKRIV ETT SVAR shawnaree February 9 2009, 05:28:22 UTC COLLAPSE Also, I did some digging, and found this: The hypolipidemic effects of sulfur-containing principles in onion, including S-methyl cysteine sulfoxide and allylpropyl disulfide, have been demonstrated in several studies in rats and rabbits. 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 Examples include onion's protective effects against diet-induced atherosclerosis 27 and its marked action in controlling lipids 28 and triglycerides. 26 Cardiovascular disease risk factors also involve blood coagulability. Several reports confirm the onion's inhibitory effects on platelet formation. Raw, but not cooked, onion demonstrated antithrombotic effects in rats. 29 , 30 Dose-dependent inhibitory effects on platelet aggregation with raw onion also were seen in rabbits. 31 Boiling onion may cause decomposition of the antithrombotic ingredient. 29 http://www.drugs.com/npp/onion.html Dvs "Onion can be taken frequently in low doses without any side effects, as seen with rat experimentation."

Tycker mig ha hört små söta utsläpp från några av mina råttor. De kan alltså fjärta..

Precis som många andra så litar jag på författaren bakom the scuttling gourmet. Här är hennes lista. (ps. den är på engelska)

# 5   Att dom kan fjärta ?    Jo da, det har man fått känna på när dom ligger på bröstet o kelar.  😮
