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!
