How does everyone achieve this?? When ever I try and push Dylan up against the wall he just pushes his head and legs hard against the wall and I feel mean trying to push them in lol. Does anyone else have this problem?

I got my two Hermans on Saturday. They are seventeen months old. I weighed and measured them last night and checked the Jackson Ratio this morning and they are both overweight! So do I cut down what food I am giving them or see how they are in a months time when they have settled in to see whether it is the amount I am feeding them that is wrong or whether it is what they were fed by their previous owner that was wrong?
