hi all. well Freyja and Nimue have been with me for 10days and seem to have settled in to there new homes ok.

But surprise surprise they are not feeding yet. have attempted twice with pinkies which is what they were eating before.

they are now 11weeks old they have only fed twice before i bought them. so there last feed was on the 22nd of may.

Not to worried just yet but just wanted see if any one had an Idea of what weight a hatchling of 11weeks old should weigh.

i weighed them last night so if they refuse food again i will have some thing to compare weigh to.

they are 50g and 52g. would this seem about right.?

he he he, your going down the worried Daddy road arent you

When Echo was six weeks old he weighed 59g if that is any help...

but remember they all grow at different rates...some are similar some are not

dont handle till they have taken at least another 2 feeds...

hard i know, but resist it..

I have two babies coming to me, but i am taking neither till they taken five consecutive feeds..
