Ok a proper newbie question here that may make a few of you laugh as a stupid question. So here goes,
Baby corn's , what shape are their bodies?
Reason I ask is mine is more oval shaped rather than round.
If this is right then I assume he will fatten up and become more round as he gets older?
Just a bit concerned he may be underweight although I need to get some scales this weekend , so have not weighed him yet.
Does this sound normal?
Thanks.

Loaf shaped is the ideal Don't worry about asking silly questions, we all did at one point

Thanks. I think he is "loaf" shaped so my mind is more at ease now.

Hi, no question is silly its always better to ask. Ideal shape for corns is loaf of bread shape, if they are round then they are likely to be over weight, if triangle shaped then they are too thin. Hope that makes sense and has reassured you. If your really worried post some pics of the little one, well post pics anyway we like pictures here
