What did your bables weigh at 16 weeks? Just curious! |
I don't know if I kept that precise of records to know what Tatum was at 16 weeks. By the time I started paying attention to what others on this site were saying about the "weight formula", Tatum was past those particular weeks so I didn't bother looking back to see what she weighed at those times. I really thought that Tatum would be smaller (around 3-4 lbs full grown) since she was so tiny at 9 weeks when we got her - in fact, that's the main reason why we had her spayed. I heard way too many horror stories about breeding them under 5 pounds. I'm still glad we did it though because it sounds like a lot of work and still on the dangerous side! She weighs 5 pounds now but still has the short frame so probably looks smaller. She's a rough and tough tumbler though. SHE doesn't think she's small at all!
