| Some new pictures, taken a few days ago. What makes me worry is the question, whether she is too thin...Wonder if you can figure it from these photos... [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] | |

| What does she weigh?
She looks like she might have a high backbone which could be due to the condition of her mother - if she is active, eating and happy, then that is what I would consider to be important factors - you can have smaller hoggies that are perfectly healthy xx | |

| She weighs about 300 gr now. What does a high backbone mean? She is active, in fact she is a crazy wheeler I thought that maybe I should add some food with higher fat content to her mix? Could it be she is "outrunning" all calories she's getting? Her appetite is quite good, and so are stools. Quills and fur are shiny, no significant quill loss. No other problems (at least as far as I can see) just possibly being a bit skinny... | |

| Aww, she's beautiful.x I was worrying about Iori being skinny but he is just small. Melody had a look at him for me and said he looked fine. I have been adding a little of a higher fat food to hus biscuits.x | |

| On the first photo she looks higher in her back but it could just be the way the photo was taken.
With active wheelers, it is often better to use a higher fat content biscuit - 300 grams is a good weight - my Boss Hog was a wheel demon and he was always a smaller hog - if her stools are OK that is a good indication that all is well - add a little higher fat content biscuit to her current mix and you could also give her a few extra mealworms xx | |

| Thanks everyone for good words, she IS gorgeous Such a sweet girl I've taken some pictures of her from above - usually this position is used to evaluate condition in animals. Sorry for the quality, my camera is not that good, but I hope it'll be possible to see. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]She's kinda thin and long, isn't she? Somehow I feel a hog should be "rounder" somehow, but I might be mistaken. Not so much experience with them. Later I'll try to get a side view of her as well, so that you can take a look at her back line. Does a high backbone mean some kind of rickets in hogs? | |
