-----------------------------------------
After a lot of thought I decided to get Alfie a friend. I collected "Daisy" yesterday from a breeder near Weston Super Mare - met Mum, Dad, Brothers and Sisters and they all appeared healthy, active and eating well.
However since getting Daisy home, last night, she has not eaten. Is this normal? Alfie did not stop eating from the moment I got him home!! Daisy is very active and keen to explore so I think she is fine.
However Alfie does not appear to be interested in her at all. Bloomin typical - I only got her as I felt sorry for Alfie living alone. However I must admit I've fallen in love already.
And the last thing is - Daisy is quite a bit bigger than Alfie - Daisy weighs 55g and Alfie weighs 42g. The breeder told me that this is perfectly normal and they do vary in size. Is this true please? They are both Spurthighs and both a year old this month.
Thank you
Julie
