Edward Is Finally Gaining Weight! :)

[klee]

I have had my special little boy for about 3 and a half weeks now and he has come on leaps and bounds and is finally starting to gain some weight. He was quite finicky about vegetables whilst at the rescue, but I think living next to my girls has really encouraged him to try new things- he has been getting a small bowl of veg in the morning and evening with lots of different things in and to my suprise he only refuses to eat a few things, so far: tomato, brocoli, pepper.
I have even started him with begging for handfed celery leaves, but he isn't very sure
He is even eating a fair amount of his pellets as well, which he would hardly touch when he first came home.
With all his excitable popcorning and zooming every day, I think he was using more calories than he was actually eating- but we now seem to have turned a corner and for the first time since being here- he is over 800g

Great news.

Your love and care has helped him gai weight. I think fussy piggies change when they live with others as they do not like to miss out on food.

I have always made the observation that my neutered boys' appetite would really perk up once they were with the girls (he'll learn to eat anything soon!). They are now all porkier than the girls...

Thats great news, and I'm really glad that he is improving
