New Born Pup
Hi there, I'm back with another dilemma. When we got our two little girls in March 2024, our first challenge was sexing them. Thanks to all the help on this forum, we determined that they both are, indeed, female. Thank goodness! Now we've had our girls for 6 months exactly and we are loving them. They are the most adorable and fun little girls imaginable. They both seem to be thriving ... they eat well (90% hay, 5% pellets, 5% veggies), drink well, poop well, etc. One of the girls is more dominant and does rumblestrut around the other and create a bit of mischief. But they generally get along very well.
But... our girls are about 8 months old and they are absolutely tiny! I don't think they are too skinny or underweight, as I can't feel any ribs when I pick them up. They feel good ... solid ... not fat and not skinny. But their weight seems way off the typical average. Here are some pictures of them, both in their playpen and also on the scale. The tan one (Winnie) is the smallest at only 434 grams. The black one (Tootsie) is slightly bigger at 562 grams. But for 8 month old girls, aren't these both very light? Any guidance or comments would be greatly appreciated. Thank you as always!
