Oscar is 9" tall (and 9" long, nice little square) and weighs 3.5lbs - he's all legs! It's a great weight for him - he looks healthy and I don't feel like he would break when I play with him.
Ruthie is a shorty (she's only 18weeks tho) - I haven't measured but she looks to be about 5 or 6" tall and she weighs 1.8lbs. I'm trying to fatten her up a wee bit - she's a little TOO lean for my liking.
It's really difficult to judge a proper weight based on heigh though. Like I can already tell that Ruthie is going to be much shorter, but probably longer in body than Oscar is - but she could still end up being the same weight as him. You should be able to SLIGHTLY feel their ribs under their skin, if you can't feel them at all, then they are overweight. If you can REALLY feel their ribs, then they would be underweight. |
