Low Protein Dog Food

Can I feed my rats a low fat Dog Food along with veggies/fruits and lab blocks?
I’m getting a pair of male rats today and I don’t really know what to feed them. I have read many different options of homemade mixes, but I also saw that many people feed their rats a low fat dog food that has between 16%-18% protein and somewhere around 4%-5% or so of fat. I was just wondering if it would be enough to feed them a dog food like this along with fruits, vegetables and lab blocks every day or if I should feed them something else.
They do perfectly fine on dog food as a staple food in their diet. It is best to get puppy food as it is more nutritional for them. You do not need to feed a combination of lab blocks and puppy food as they are both a staple food and contain the same value to a rats diet. Do one or the other or a rotation. You may also feed vegetables once everyday and fruits as snacks if you would like but they can do without. Nothing else is needed although it is good to give them some dried pasta as well. Not a lot but about a fourth cup would work for two. Don’t give them a whole lot of variety as they will pick and choose and end up getting an unbalanced diet.
