Oh Teddy! I have a problem of my own regarding a greedy rat at the moment. My River doesn't stash, he EATS EVERYTHING on the spot. Every time I walk past the cage, he's chowing down. I fear that he's eating himself into an early grave, honestly he's huge and getting bigger. His two other brothers are chunky but nothing like River.

He's got rolls underneath his arms and when he lies flat, he looks like a giant, bloated pancake. I daren't post pictures incase someone reports me for cruelty (lol). No seriously, it's bad. I can't take his food away because he lives with his brothers. They get the best quality dry mix I can get here in the UK, vegetables and cantaloupe everyday, that's it - no sugar, bread, pasta. I've had a giant rat before but River is something else. He loves his fuds but I do worry about tumours and diabetes. He's just such a big softie but I have no idea how to get him to stop eating!

Sounds like you have a Peanut in the making - my sweet boy was over 1100 grams at one time. In case you don't know, that's guinea pig size. He took looked like a salad plate laying down.

Oh my lord thats gargantuan! Greedy boys - Did Peanut ever succumb to any kind of illness (diabetes etc) because of his weight? I hate to ask but maybe I should prepare myself or something

Do you have any photos of Peanut when he was at his largest? Ill post River bears if you post yours?!

No, I put him with girls after his cagemates died and he started losing weight chasing them around. Then he lost almost all his weight to a damn PT. He had a long distance best buddy though that was bigger than him. I know they are sitting down right now at the all you can eat buffet.. That square hideaway we called his pantry - he stored his food in there. The other two are his girlfriends Bristol and Eldora. Bristol is now about half his size maybe bigger.

Dont ask me why my pictures keep going sideways... This phone well every smart phone I touch has meltdowns lol

Hmmm.. Maybe these chunksters could do with some (spayed) sweet little ladies to run about with and spark new life into em. I'll look into some of my local rescues and see if I can't rescue a couple of girlies. Afterall, I do have a double level DCN only 3 boys!

I've always loved how male and female rats interact. It's love on another level. My Dina had mammary tumours removed and my boys flocked around her in such a way that quite frankly left me stunned. They even slept with their heads protectively on her shaved belly after surgery. I'll see if I can dig the pictures out.

Lovely animals, rats.
