Sorry for all the questions, but I'm new, pasta, do you cook it for them or just let them have at it uncooked???

both :)

our rats love to crunch on uncooked pasta.  but one of their favorite "meals" is chicken noodle soup left overs.

Mine will eat it either way. 8)

When I'm in an especially "cooky" phase, I'll make my ratties veggie pasta with frozen veggies...little bit of olive oil on top and they scrum it right up!

Can't go wrong with Lo Mein  ;)
Mine do loved it raw also. Love to see them crunching voraciously on those things with happy grins.
They especially loved my mother's rice.  Well, everybody loved my mom's rice (except me), even the guy who claimed he was a vegetarian (there was chicken flavor in that rice but he still ran for it whenever my mom sent it)

Mine love both!  ;D
They each get a piece of raw everyday.
When I cook past for myself they get some too.

 ;D My furries love to nibble on both. At night all i hear in the cages is like an amplified rice crispy sort of noise from all the pasta crunching going on.

Mine like both too.  I use the tri-color pasta in their mix, but they also get leftovers of pasta when I cook it.  Today they got spaghetti  Mmmm    :)

Mine like both, too... they also get the tri-color, uncooked, in their mix. But I LOOOOVE to give them cooked spaghetti, because they go NUTS!

Mine doesn't care much for uncooked pasta.  I cook pasta all the time so I'd give it to her that way a lot.  One time
I decided to give her uncooked and she didn't even realize it was food.

Ours like both cooked and raw.  Lasagna is a real treat now and then.  It's hilarious to watch a rat eating a strand of cooked spaghetti, I can't believe how fast they inhale it!
