Hi all, I was playing with one of my little guys yesterday and noticed something--HE GOT FAT!! You know, the "rolls" of blubber that surround your fingers when you try to poke them in the ribs for a tickle? Anyhow, he's been confined to a small bedroom for about two months, and then his cage for about another month because of my roommate and then because I was in the process of moving. Boy is he happy to finally have a place that he can run around in again! That being said, I was wondering if there were any diseases that have symptoms of significant weight gain? He is going to be 5 years old in November. He is also NOT exhibiting any behavioral changes, so that's why I am not too alarmed at his weight gain. Would I be correct to say that he got fat because of his lack of excercise in the past 3 months? If anyone has any suggestions or insights, that would be great. Thanks, and dooks to all, Chris in Ca-ca land [Posted in FML issue 3060]
