This may be a dumb question, but the other day my fatty, brother, got into a rice sock that I had on top of a tall box. He ripped the sock open and was chowing down when I found him. It was regular white rice that you would steam. I give them vegetable pasta as an occasional treat, but will uncooked rice hurt them? He ate a few mouths full before I caught him, and he had a fist full, which he promptly stuffed in his mouth and gobbled down as I was picking him up. Little stinker!
 
I don't believe it will have any effect on him that steamed rice wouldn't. Since pastas can be eaten raw or cooked I don't see why rice cannot. He might have constipation though if he ate too much. I try to give it to my rats in minimal amounts to avoid this.
