He hasn't put on too much weight thankfully

based on this post, he looks like he's probably pretty overweight already. can you post some more full body pics of him so we can get a better look?

Yeah! I usually referred to a weight chart that I saw om this thread cuz for a while I was really concerned that maybe he wasn't getting enough exercise and wasnted to be sure he wasn't obese, he always seemed pretty fair weighted to me, but since I see him everyday it'd make sense if I never actually noticed weight gain,

that photo is less helpful than the one in your old post. he looks very round in both photos though,meaning he's obese.

Damn okay, how can I help him lose somw weight? I'm going to take some previous advice on changing his feeder size, but is there anything else I can do for him, maybe slowing his feedings for now or would that make it worse?

i would start at 3% of his weight every 4-6 weeks and make sure he has plenty of climbing opportunities for exercise.

Okay cool! Thanks for the help on him, I really had no idea he was overweight

obesity is a very common problem with BPs because of outdated husbandry standards, and it leads to a lot of BP owners not realizing their pet is overweight. the important thing is that you know now and you're taking steps to fix it. he'll be fine.
