Default Is Disco too thin?

I weighed him today, clever boy sat still for me and he is (not digital scales!) about 85-90g. He is a Syrian and about 4 months old. I can feel his spine?
He does eat but has more interest in dismantling food and sleeping on it

I have eggs in and porridge oats- do you just make the porridge up with water? What else is good to give him?

Disco is a he um he is from a pet shop but their stock is from a family breeder? He breeds at home, the children handle them etc so not like mass production
Mrnibblesmommy - I saw the runt of the litter and it was about half his size, I was so tempted to take him

He actually ate the porridge rather than pouching and stashing so will keep giving him that. I am making cheesy cottage pie tomorrow so he can have some cheese then too
