Thanks so much for the reply. I do buy her specifically formulated rat food in the pet store but am sure to give her lots of fruits and veggies. I am afraid she is, as I am, a junk food junkie. She does eat dry dog food and she love mac and cheese. She gets a little bit of whatever I am eating. She has always been chubby since I got her at 5 weeks old. But now she is close to 2 years old and I know it is her time, so maybe her metabolism is slowing down.

Thanks for your insight and help,

Mickey
