Mango has recently began having what seems full cheek pouches all the time.
His brother, chutney, is very much the dominant one and I am wondering at whether Mango is threatened by Chutney and has actually started carrying food with him all the time?
Could it be that he has some inflamation? Or something along those lines!

Our two WW always seem to have a little store in their pouches which they often spew all over us while out I think it is quite common for dwarfs to do this however that does not mean there is not a possibility of something amiss. If the pouches are impacted he is unlikely to pouch more. Have you seen him actively loading up then running off to empty. Have a look and see if they have a good store somewhere. Ours live alone and still have full pouches so not sure about the bullying thing.
When I spread food out they both run out and shove food into their pouches, so I think he must empty it sometimes because otherwise he would have quite a lot in there!
