Question Weight mystery - help!

Hello all!

Just a quickie... Went to the vets last night for a check up as the boys have had runny tummy and been on anti-biotics for the last 5 days and they're now fine and running riot round the house etc. BUT... whilst Gilbert had put on weight in the last 5 days (he's gone from 650g to 780g!), George has only gone from 720g to 740g... 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!
