    Is 127 grams to small?
    I acquired a four month old male normal bp and he weighs in at 127 grams. Does this sound a little small considering his age? He eats f/t rat pups like a pig. He is eating every 4 to 5 days too. Any input would be appreciated. The rat pups are big enough for him because they leave a little lump in his belly.

    That is small for the age, but he may have been a slow starter. As long as he's eating now, he'll pack on the weight in no time.

    Thank you for the response! He is a little slow at growing but he eats great!

    I got a guy like a little more than a month ago and was told he was a month old...so now he is two months and only weighs 75 grams,but has been eating quiet well..so keep enclosure right and as long as he eats,he will grow...

    I was in the same boat back in march. I got a mystic pastel that was born in November. She only weighed in at 112 grams. She's been an iffy feeder, but weighed in today at 700 grams and she's beautiful.

    As long as she's eating good for you, there's not much else to do but wait for the weight to come on. :gj:
