Especially if their main diet is going to be Suparat Excel (which IIRC is the pelleted food) then you should give them extras - rats live to eat, and the more variety you give them, the happier they will be.
My rats get everything we eat - I just give them the leftovers, and they love it. As yours are presumably babies, they will need lots of extra protein and fat at the moment. I would recommend reading these articles: Fancy Rats | Information | Feeding for Reproduction and Growth Fancy Rats | Information | The Shunamite Diet Fancy Rats | Information | The General Principles of Feeding Rats

I personally feed the shunamite diet, as laid out in that second link. Rats love eating so much that the pellets must seem a bit boring - they love different flavours and textures.
