Just my opinion,.. I can't really tell how Midgard carries his weight in that video. Since I can only see him from one angle. Besides the physical aspect,.. one way to tell if they are over weight and or getting close to it is how they move. Such as slow lumbering movements even after they have warmed up, not very much activity when out and or taking a lot of breaks.

Everyone has their own image of what's healthy weight and over weight for people and animals. I like to keep my pets on the leaner side,.. on my tegus I like to see a little definition between the head and neck including jowls on males.

I'm not saying yours has this I'm just using it as an example. But you know how some people look like they have a pack of hot dogs on the back of their neck. :s Lol,.. I don't like that on people or animals. It also reminds me of Boohbahs and some thing else I can't say,.. since I know quite a few youngins visit this site.

But on another note,..a little less weight for Murphy might be helpful since he has issues anyway. The heavier he gets will only make it even more difficult for him to get around on his own.
