Default Loose rear sprocket

It's probably nothing for anybody else to worry about, but today I removed my back wheel to do some routine maintenance and I noticed my rear sprocket was loose.
And I mean every bolt was loose enough to rattle.

I don't know how long it's been that way but I'm a stickler for maintenance and was surprised as to just how loose they had become.

Maybe worth a quick check.

When ever I replace any sprocket I check them again after the first ride, because they tend to loosen initially.
