Weight

[hyperblue8]

Just wondered if anyone could tell me the optimum weight for a male chin? Everywhere I look online seems to give very wide ranges of weights... having said that whichever guideline I follow it seems my 2YR old male chin is underwight at 450g.

Males are typically smaller, but it really depends on genetics. I have males that are right under 600g all the way to 900g. Yours is a lower weight but as long as his appetite and overall health is good, you shouldn't worry too much.

I agree, that is on the low end, but as long as he is eating, pooing, and active, he sounds ok. My males vary but are usually around 600-750.

It depends on the chin. Some are smaller and others are larger. If he's eating, pooping and acting fine I wouldn't worry. I had a pet male that was 460 grams full grown.
