I'm a little worried because when I got the babies out today for their out time, they seem much thinner than normal. I checked and they have food in their hidey spot, but i don't know if its more or less than yesterday. I made them some baby cereal with ensure, and they are going nuts for it, as well as the lab blocks I pulled out like they haven't eaten in days.
I weighed them using the kitchen thing we've got, so its not very accurate, but Seamus is about 125 grams and Neville is about 110. Neville has always been a bit smaller than Seamus, but he seems very skinny. I can feel his spine, very bony like. Seamus isn't as bad... I dunno if maybe they just had a growth spurt or what. They are both active and seem fine other than this, and are about 9 weeks old... if they were actually 4 weeks when i got them.
here are some pictures I just took of them. they aren't very good, but hopefully you can tell something.
Most are of Neville because he is so much skinnier than Seamus, and I am more worried about him.
