Have too big portions ruined his appetite?

[Coderedfield47]

they're littered around but I can't tell if Perturabo's appetite was filled by the pieces of lettuce, broccoli and carrots. I haven't seen him care much for the "donuts" which are supposed to be what he was eating at the pet store. He has glutted on the "rodent mix" seeds, and I just don't want to give him any more treats till I know he has his protein. He has been invisible in the burrow network, which I mapped in my head, and calculate he built a complex underneath the house that has at least 3 tunnels around the deep portion of the bedding. I can see one tunnel in the side of the glass that appears to extend beneath the house.

That's great he's been digging tunnels and burrows It sounds like he's really settling in. Does the seed mix have the correct amount of protein? If so I wouldn't worry.

I don't know. It was for rats. sunflower seeds, what looks like a "corn flake" piece of cereal, sunflower seeds and some pieces like pellets and "tablets" whatever they are- and than what looks like "bird feed" small tan seeds that he largely disfavors over everything else in the mix.

I don't tend to worry too much about exactly what they're eating. As long as their food provides everything they need and they always have access to it (I never ration food), I think they will eat what they need. Same as how most humans manage to instinctively eat a relatively balanced diet if they have access to a variety of different foods.

That instinct seems to be a little atrophied in a few humans I know.

That's true But human diets are quite messed up by the fact that we have hyper-palatable sugary foods which taste really good which providing much nutrition.

Even on diets of junk food, humans normally get a minimally adequate amount of protein and most vitamins. People don't as a rule suffer from serious malnutrition outside of poverty, illnesses that cause malabsorption, very unusual/restrictive diets and other extreme factors.
