is my fat suggie at risk?

 is my fat suggie at risk?

so my girl has put on so much weight ever since i started feeding them HPW. I dont think the HPW has made her fat but all she wants to do is eat and she rarely exercises in the wheel. she loves food so much that one time i was just observing them in their cage while i was watching tv, and I saw her sit at the same spot eating for an hour straight, she didnt stop for nothing. I have no complains, she is the sweetest and friendliest out of my three suggies, but im just concerned that is not good for her health. I try to put her in the wheel sometimes and make her exercise even though she doesnt want to. my other two boys eat and are exposed to the same environment but they have a healthy weight and dont obsess about food. what should i do?:( sometimes i try to make sure she eats less than the other cuz if not she could even eat the others' food. someone help?!

I agree with RaverBob, however, whos to say that the other two dont eat the food first? Maybe you could put her into another cage and make sure she eats the recommended amount, but also make her forage for it. Doing that might make her a little more active, and you will also know she is getting the right amount by not having her cage mates getting to it first.

Only feed her the recommended amounts and make sure she has a buddy to run around with!

You could try putting smaller quantities around the cage, use foraging tools and toys to maker her work/hunt for her food so to speak.
