Mulan and Belle are mother and daugter rescues I got from nutmeg before renamed they were called Buttercup and Nina

I'm a bit concerned I may be over feeding them...

Belle (mummy born roughly nov/dec 08 ) was 925g on the 4/9/09 she is now 1.035g 24/9/09

Mulan (baby born 1/8/09) was 261g on the 5.9.09 she is now 360g 24/9/09

is this ok? :{

1-2oz (30-50g) weight gain per week are normal, and your girl's weight gain is still within the norm!

Remember that Belle is coming out of a pregnancy and has some catching up to do now that all the nutrients are finally going toward her body. A big jump is not unusual. My Taffy did the same while she was at pompypigs5'. She put on about nearly 150g over two weeks, if I remember correctly!
