    Apart from being slightly overweight, I think her shape is good, she can bend easily and there's a little bit of spine showing.

    The last 3 have been about monthly as she was back to 3000g again, but she's gone over 3000g so I'm not gonna feed for a while now.
    I agree with some of the other comments, I think you might be over feeding. Adults have a slower metabolism so you have to figure 150-200g rat at the frequency you were feeding, you’re gonna see some weight gain.
