Very overweight babies

[Bati]

No pics but they are 18½ days old and girls is 60 grams, boy is 65 grams (only two babies) - should I worry about them being too fat? They look and feel...VERY overweight, but it's not me who's been feeding them

 

[ratamataz]

Maybe they're fat because there's no competition for milk?

 

[Melissa]

Hmm, mine are on day 24 and 50 grams, 11 in the litter.

 

[Bati]

They are using all the 'outlets' (what are they called?), but should I worry? (I like to worry obviously)

 

[lilspaz68]

Outlets = teats?
LOLOL

Can you get us a pic of the little chubbers so we can decide if they are alright? :wink2:

 

[Bati]

Ah teats yes :lol: pics are poor, it's late night, they are awake and I'm sleeping, but maybe you can see the flubber (my hand is size 10)

This shows the fat good:

They are big solid chunky babies. My Bronlings from a litter of 13 were solid little monsters too.

I wouldn't worry, unless you know that they are getting inappropriate foods?

 

[Bati]

They only get milk as far as I can see - but generally I don't give them inappropiate food, but I put small bites of everything in so they can have a taste, shouldn't they taste everything while little so they are familiar with different tastes?

I've seen in another very small litter have chubby babies too.

 

[Bati]

Never had this chubby ones before - guess I'll just be proud of them now :lol:

 

[ratamataz]

I must say, those little chub-chubs are extra cute!

 

[Melissa]

[mamarat]

[Moon]

Maybe they'll just be bigbigBIG!

As soon as my bratlings eyes were open they were into everything, and started seriously eating soon after, of course Mom was the main meal most of the time.

Until they get it all over everything... hehe.

 

[Fidget]

Well, you may have trouble finding baby clothes in their size :giggle: but I'm sure they'll slim down a bit as they get really active, long as you don't overfeed them.
They're beautiful healthy looking little chubs!
Have you named them?

I can't wait for you to make the mating again, Bati, so that I can have one of the babies too
