So my rats broke their wheel and I didn't fix it for about a month.  In that
time, just a month, one rat gained 3 oz (12 -> 15 oz) while the other gained
2 oz (11 -> 13 oz).  The 15 oz rat looked like a volleyball!

So I got a little worried and fixed the wheel and they've been running like
crazy and look like they've dropped a little weight.

I couldn't believe they got that huge without exercise.

Oh yes, I have one that looks like a volleyball. HE refuses to use the
wheel. He prefers food as a sport. However, I have a girl who LOVEs the
wheel and she is a svelte beauty.

Good Luck with your wee ones,
