Do rats eat basil and mint?

Rats may consume basil and mint, but it primarily depends on the individual rat's preferences and taste.

- Basil: Some rats enjoy the occasional nibble of fresh basil leaves as part of their varied diet. Basil does not seem to be a preferred food source for rats, and they might not necessarily actively seek it out. Basil typically serves as an herb or flavoring agent rather than a primary dietary component for rats.

- Mint: Mint is another herb that can occasionally be consumed by rats. Similar to basil, it isn't a mainstay in the rat's diet and is more of an occasional treat. The strong aromatic nature of mint might deter some rats from consuming it in significant amounts. Rats may nibble on mint leaves if offered, but they generally have variable taste preferences.
