Just weighed Kane for the first time since he started eating again and he has put on a little over a 100g in a couple of weeks! And that was eating food a little smaller than he should be caused he refused to take what he's meant to be on...

Unfortunately though he's still a little lighter than average at his age according to Blackecho's chart...

Thanks I've been gradually moving his food up to get him eating and he's wolfing down everything i give him so I've gone back to his normal food size this weekend so fingers crossed

Hello Austin,
I wouldn't worry about the weight thing too much. My royal Tia was 2 years old, 80cm long and weighed about 450g when I got her. After a proper feeding regime of rats every 2 weeks she is now about 1metre long and weighs over a kilo. She's been fasting now since the beginning of November, but this is normal.
Kane is eating which is the main thing, so he'll soon catch up.

I first got really worried when he started his fast but after reassurance from the lovely forum i felt so much better, up until the other week i hadn't seen the feeding guide (i think it was made by Blackecho?) and I've since started following that... Glad to hear she put the weight on

Is it an empty weight? If not you're weighing the food in his belly too.

Yeah it is, he had eaten and pooped before a few days before I weighed him :)
