I have a question. I have a girl who's about 11 months. She weighs just under 4 lbs right now. If I look at her height and length and even her bone structure, she seems like she should weigh more. She is THIN. She eats really well, is sturdy and is comparable in size to my spayed girl (who is fat)...who weighs 6.5 lbs. PHoebe is supposed to be about 5.5-6 lbs.

I am still waiting for Felicity's first heat cycle, and no I won't breed her the first cycle, and no I won't breed her if she doesn't gain some weight. Her 12 week weight suggested she would be around 5- 5.5 lbs. I talked to her breeder and I guess her daddy took awhile to gain his weight too.

So...what foods could I give her to help fatten her up a little? She is on Wee Bits and sometimes Royal Canin Puppy33. She eats all day.

Thanks!
