Slow to gain weight? 5 consecutive meals, no luck
So I have been logging my BP's feeding, I got him 6 weeks ago, he is a 2015 Black Pastel Mystic. He arrived at 138 grams, has weighed as much as 168 grams and then today as of his last defecation, he is only 142 grams. So after 5 consecutive weeks of eating we have a grand total of 4 grams gained...this seems slow to me.
Week 1 - Rat fuzzy
Week 2 - Rat fuzzy
Week 3 - Weaned rat
Week 4 - Mouse
Week 5 - Mouse
I believe I am feeding appropriately sized prey, just want to make sure my guy is getting enough nutrition. Thoughts?

Re: Slow to gain weight? 5 consecutive meals, no luck
Hey 4 grams is 4 grams lol at least he's gaining and 5 weeks isn't really that long of a period of time. We have just noticed our girl gaining and growing in the last month. She shed in less than 1.5 month in between so maybe he will shed and you will notice more growth. Keep feeding and be happy that he's not being a picky eater. He is very handsome btw looks healthy to me!
