hi everyone im a new member here!
i joined because i need help.
i have 3 girls and i feed them 50g of selective rat food per day
it says on the back of the pack that each rat should have around 20-25 kg a day but i put it down to 50 as they are quite small
however recently when i have been cleaning out their cage with a proper clean and take out their house a large pile of food is in there
i know rats are meant to store but this is an ungodly amount - around a whole 7 days worth of food for them at least.
i also feed them a bowl a fresh mixed veg per day but they dont seem to store that too much
i see them eat the pellets when i first give them so they are eating them and they haven't lost any weight its just they only maybe eat about 10- 20 percent of their daily pellets before storing the rest
so what should i do?
am i feeding them too much?
should i cut down their food?
should i feed them every 2 days instead so they eat their stash?
any help would be great thanks
