Got some digi scales yesterday so decided to weigh Drazen. He measured in at 1046g and I beleive he's 2 this year. He doesn't look fat but that seems heavy. He did eat the other day as well so that might be a factor.

Oh yeh, and I weighed him around sept with some crappy dial scales and he weighed in at around 600g, does that seem right?

Sounds fine, what shape would a cross-section of his body be?

I'll have to get him to go through one of those toddler shape toy things to know for sure but he definately isn't shaped like a Toblerone! I don't think he's shaped like a salami sausage either so he must be about normal. Cheers for the diagrams, I especially like the simplicity.

I don't think I have ever seen a fat Royal. They tend to be binge eaters, eat as much as they can then stop until they have burnt it all off.
