Alicia
Mama Doe
Izzy feels a lot lighter than Archie. She is the same age as him (1 year old) and she is a dwarf lop x lionhead (I think Archie is a dwarf lop) I held Archie today and he felt heavier than normal, and when I stroked him I couldn't really feel his spine, and I couldn't feel his ribs. I held Izzy and she was a lot lighter than him, and I could feel her ribs and spine quite easily. They have a bowl each, so I put the food in the bowls and leave them to eat, but I think Archie's been eating all of his food and then going to eat Izzy's, because I think she does eat more slowly than him. Should I be able to feel the spine or ribs on them at all? I seperated them to eat tonight, is that right? Should I be giving Izzy any more food or Archie any less? They get 40g each of burgess excel, which always seemed to be fine for Archie and Molly, but I think because Izzy takes longer to eat she's not getting as much and Archie's getting more food.
