Growth Question

rottenweiler9 Mar 12, 2010 08:09 PM

Just curious, I know growth slows up after the first couple years, and I am sure a lot of you feel the same way. My 6 year old, I thought was around 10 ft but when I took him out is more like 13ft now. Hahahaha, I wondered where did you get the extra three feet. I know a lot is based off of what you feed, he is eating med rabbits every other week, and as of late every week, just cause he looks hungry. Am I looking at 16, 17, 18 ft in 3-4 years. Just need to do some planning.

Thanks.

main factor in growth is genetics, while being influenced with feeding regimine. best way to get a good idea of size potential is lookin at the parents
