my dts (almost 4 years old and identical) have very different appertites, dt2 barely eats enough to keep a bird alive, yet dt1 is a complete ganet, she has a huge appertite, it has always been this way, yet they are pretty much exactly the same weight, dt1 is always 1 - 2lbs heavier, so is this because dt1 has a faster metabolism, if so why, would they not have the same metabolism being identical? they are both equally active too, weird huh?
