Feedin on a sunny afternoon (pics)

[Livingstone]

Hello everybody,

I was going through my camera and found some photos from summer that my wife took of Livingstone being fed by me. Either it was the temperature of this particularly hot day and his metabolism going full steam ahead, or maybe that he had been grazing on the weeds in the pen and hadn't seen lettuce and mazuri in a while. One thing is for sure he was hungry.

Here's a sequence for you guys:

[jtrux]

He looks great!

 

[CourtneyAndCarl]

Haha, he is so hungry he wants to eat the whole bowl.

 

[Urtle]

How old is he?

 

[Livingstone]

He is 3 years and 8 months now. He was 3 years and 2 months in the photos. He's about 15.5" long and 10.5" wide, I dont have a scale to weigh him but I would guess 20 or so pounds.
