Answer / vahid
Answer: 10
Reason:
The best case happens ONLY when each rat dies just as they
taste the FIRST bottle given to them (you can imagine it a
miracle :D )
In this case, the very first 10 attempts reveal the
poisonous bottles. So the answer is 10.

Answer / somesh bansal
Answer is 999. since it is a stack of bottles...last bottle(lowest in the stack) can be a poisonous one...poisoned bottles are randomly placed in stack...so in order to access last bottle rats have to go through all 999 bottles above it...
