Thanks for the pro tip! I do like to spoil my rats but I always make sure their treats are small portions. I don't feed ad libidum, so it's good to hear that's the right strategy. It's easy to tell when they're hungry: they line up side-by-side near the cage door and make noise 😛. Maybe I should calculate exactly how many calories they need and use a 500 gram scale to measure their portions, like I do for my cats.
