Ah, Janie, if you claim that a young rat has less nutritional value than an adult mouse, but that you're worried about mouse-fed Slinky piling it on, then might be better to switch him to rats???
Just a thought. |

Yeah, the neonatals do, but juvenile mice are actually fattier than juvenile rats, as for adults, since an adult rat is a far larger animal, it's got to have a greater fat content. Plus an adult royal usually fasts for a good period and can take that fat content to tide itself over.
Sorry - Bats says - RATSSSSSS!!!!
(And so do my royals) |

hehe Bats, you should have joined the debate :)
Slinky is on adult mice now tho, he isn't obese, not by a long shot but I wouldn't want him much fatter lol |
