Question
Thanks for replying so quickly. Answers to your question about my rat being over weight, he seems to be ok and is able to groom himself pretty well. I'm pretty good about maintain their weight. I had en experience w/ a past pet rat of mine that was obesit. I will definitely try what you told me. Thank you very much

Answer

My boys are all pretty hefty but they dont have buck grease. My last rat did and he was not overweight, just full of hormones and he produces tons of buck grease. I Had to keep up with it big time or he would get cracked skin under it from the skin not being able to breathe.  

Good luck and if you need anything just let me know!
