Just curious as to what would be considered as too much of a weight gain and what is too low and normal?
I weighed Marty on 30/06/2012 and he was 215g and weighed him again just now 17/07/2012 and is 246g is this about right? He's had 3 rat fluffs in between those weights and due another tonight.

Forgot to add they are both empty weights

Lol he's had a few unbelievably big ones so dread to think what they'll be like when he's that size, already use dog poo bags to clean up after him

Coming along very nicely indeed

Wait till he's 1500-2000. Grams and pooing large size dog poos lol

Weighed Marty again tonight after i found a poo in his hide and it looks like feeding him the right sized rats is piling on the weight as in two just under 3 weeks he's put on more than 100g and is now 438g

Just fed every 7 days upto a kilo, every 10 days upto 1.5 kilos and every 2 weeks from now on when he is feeding.

Rat size 10-15% of Duke's weight. He is a good feeder when he isn't fasting.

How often were you feeding that looks like a good growth rate i think I've been feeding Marty a bit too small haven't really weighed any of his food as i just went of the weight range the shop i used had on there list but i think half the time the staff didn't know what was what so i found a new supplier and the quality of there frozen food is spot on but looked a lot bigger so weighed one today and it was 48g which is in the top end of Martys food range and weighed one from the place i used to go and it was only 25g

Kelfezond Posted - 17/07/2012 : 18:29:50
That on the other hand is what we call broken scales lol. You sure it was that? 175g in 10 days sounds alot :/
