    Question Not gaining weigh?

    I've had my girl since Feb. and she has been gaining weight pretty normally up until these past two months or so. I just have a little Wal-Mart food scale, but I figure it's accurate enought to get a general reading. At the end of May she was 375, and on June 19th she was 450~ish grams. But when I weigh her now, a full month later, it still reads 450. I have weighed her a few times in between but it's always been right at 450. She has been eatting every week, and acting normal, so I don't konw what would cause her to quit gaining weight like that. I would have thought parasites if she hadn't been gaining weight since Feb. I'm going to take her to the vet as soon as I get a pay check. I was going to take her last week, but since she isn't losing weight, or anything that I'm too worried about, I decided to wait till I got paid. Anyways, any ideas, or has anyone elses ball gone thru a phase like this?
    Thanks ^_^

    Re: Not gaining weigh?

    one thing oyu can do which u might of done is buying a weight even a sinker for fishing and calibrate ur scale wiht that to make sure its zeroed out. if he/she is eating normally every week i doubt its parasites. he might jsut havea good metobalism. like some people do. can eat and eat and never gain wieght. if you have to spend the money on the vet do so if itll help u calm down but give him some time and see. and cehck the scale to be sure its calibrated correctly. i got one thats .03 grams off which took some time to get it that close. u can alwyas go buy a new scale and try hat one and compare if no change take back the new one. just my 2 cents
