Default overweight corn?
hi i have a pair of yearling corns, one older than the other
but one seems quite.....tubby
compared with the other corn, and other corns i deal with she looks a bit overweight
she has a fuzzy once a week or so

she's 2 1/2 feet long and weighs 125g

theres no bumps at the base of her tail,
anyone know a sort of typical length:weight ratio or anything?

Are you sure the others aren't underweight?

Looks fine to me... You could always feed every 10 days - 2 weeks if you want to keep her 'leaner'...
