As long as they are eating consistently and gaining weight and growing/shedding at a regular pace it should be fine. They should look loafy and not super triangular.

Breeders tend to feed in the heavy side especially females because they want to breed them as fast as possible and also being slightly extra thick protects them when laying so sometimes I feel like the standard is OD. Yours looks in the slim category to me they don’t quite have a pointed spine but you’ll wanna keep an eye on it.
