I wouldn't see why not. Animals have different metabolisms and growth rates just like humans do. I would start getting concerned, though, if Empress starts losing weight and looking more skinny. That would be cause for concern in my book and I'd take her to the vet then. Are you sure they eat the same amount though? Maybe Lala eats the remaining of Empress's food or maybe Lala pushes Empress out of the way for more food? My 7 month old pushes my 14 year old away from her food. I have to feed them in separate rooms and close one of their doors.

Exactly so!  Are these two from the same litter?  My boys are actually 1 day apart in age, and I'm assuming they are NOT from the same litter (it's a long story
), but one weights a LOT more than the other, and always did.

Yes they are from the same litter and Empress actually eats a little more than Lala sometimes [emoji]128512[/emoji] But I think she'll be okay for now she seems to be heathy just a little smaller [emoji]128513[/emoji] I will pay attention and watch her weight in case she does start losing weight. Thank you all[emoji]128512[/emoji]
