However, over the years Rodney and Mike Sage have shared a cake or two and both have been showing signs of wear and tear.
Whilst the community manager continues to scoff his chocolate cakes, Rodney has embarked on a fitness regime that will rival that of community officer Janice Chappell who lost 6 stone in less than two years.
In his new quest, Rodney has been attending the fitness gym, community summer skills camps, training alongside the Dragons and importantly, eating healthy which has resulted in his new slim line sleek look and instead of his inevitable defeats at mascot races he is looking forward to racing against other mascots as he demonstrates his newly found speed and athleticism.
Check out our community twitter account for pictures of slim line Rodney the mascot: @NGDCommunity.
