Is it normal to be able to feel a rat's spine and ribs when you pick it up and run your hands along it? I'm feeding her a handful (basically as much as she wants) Oxbow Regal adult rat food with 15% protein, and she's 1.5-2 years old. Any opinions? I'm not super concerned....I'm just a worrier in general and want to make sure. Thank you!!
Edit: I suppose it would be unhealthy to pick it up and NOT feel ribs and spine to some extent....that would probably mean the rat was obese.
