    update on Egg
    so finally got to weigh Egg today knowing he was tiny to begin with he finally ate a pinkie mouse on his own after the first was started he has eaten every week only by being assisted well he ate three days ago so weighed him today get this born on 9/20/10 and today he's a mere 45 grams......he's healthy, active and very inquisitive....what do you guys think?

    Egg!

    How many times did you have to assist? If he's eating on his own, even intermittently, I think he's almost good to go. And 45 grams isn't a bad weight--I've brought home 1-month old full-size hatchlings at that weight, and I know the breeders were feeding them. I think sometimes they burn through their yolk weight pretty quick, and then they have to eat for a month or two to get back up to it.

    NOW POST PICTURES.

    no pic? :(, now that he has a taste for food, he'll put on weight in no time. My normal hatched 8/14 at 34g dropped to 29. assist fed a few, now eating like a champ every 3-4 days, is up to 103g
