Both are still v small for their age (10 1/2 wks). Both have been wormed and flea treated. Both are given the same portions of food. Am now watching them eat as think Gilbert (aka the piglet) has been finishing first and 'helping' George finish his meal off too. But is there anything else i could do to get their weight up (specially george) without over-feeding them. Or could it be something else thats causing George's slow weight gain?? Thanks guys!
Vet should have some high cal recovery tinned food.theres nothing in pet shop ive looked.
