Peanut And Pickle Weight Difference
« on: May 01, 2014, 09:44:45 AM »

I've been wondering about their weights for some time now but it is quite difficult to weigh Pickle, as soon as he knows I'm up to something he won't comply! :D Where as Peanut sees a treat and won't get off the scales.
I personally think that Pickle could put on some weight (he isn't horribly boney, he just feels quite fragile) and Peanut could lose some.

How how would you go about that? I can't feed them less, because pickle would suffer, and I can't feed them more because peanut would eat too much.

These are their weights, as you can see there is quite a big gap:

Pickle: 565g
Peanut: 815g

Is this a breeding pair? Usually the females are quite a bit larger than the males.
