Hi alley, long time no see, what great weights lol, I haven't weighed my horsfields yet since they've been out of hibernation, but will do this weekend, the big girls feel so heavy it's unbelievable, I'm getting Lilly and Roxy up this weekend so won't weigh them yet for another few weeks, they do put on a lot when they first come out of hibernation.....they are starving

I don't know Gordon, I lost the bit of paper I wrote them on before I transfered it to their book. That's what happens when you get old!

Hi Bev, how long have they been up? And how many do you have now? Mine are all eating really well now but having the sunshine is helping.
