the lighter one is a lot bigger then the darker one, my mum even asked if she was pregnant!
had to double check genders to make sure they was both girls!

Dwarfs can range in size - the best thing to do is weigh them against themselves. Our boys are about the same size, but when we fostered a dwarf, he weighed a good 15g less.

If you can get some pictures from the top, that'd be helpful. Does she feel pudgy, or just round and puffbally?

i will take a photo, she looks chubby,


Rufio






Iggy.




also.. iggy just stands there..never does anything.. yet Rufio is active?

[ianpallen]

They are really cute. They look just like Screech and her sister when i first got them. I had to seperate them after two weeks as they started to fight.

[shetama]

they have a 3ft tank, so a lot of room for them to share

[Hekomi]

Make sure to have double exit houses, two of everything, scatter feed, etc. We also don't give treats in the tank.

She looks a touch pudgy around her front, but not a ton IMHO. Dwarfies always look like little pudgeballs to me. Once she has full access to a wheel I'm sure she'll slim down.

[shetama]

yeah ive ordered a wheel for my mice, for my Syrian winston and for these guys!

Rufio is really gorgeous, like a tiny brown-tone rainbow <3 They are both really pretty of course, but I was taken away by her picture
