Question
ok so i was just wondering why my mice hide there food and why one maouse is pretty freaken fat.

Answer
Hi Christopher,

Mice may hide their food to protect it, or to store it away for when they need it later.  There aren't any foodbowls in nature.  :)  Some mice have genes that lead them to be obese - but it isn't something you have to worry about unless you notice changes in behavior.
