Another weight question
I did do a search on here and realize there is no exact weight amount at any sertian age you can go by. However, my ball is about 2.5 months old. She was being feed a pinkie every 2 weeks. I have since bumped that up to hopper every 3-5 days.
I weighed her for the 1st time today. She weighed 68 grms. That seemed a bit low to me for her age. She is getting more round and losing the triangle look, but should she weigh more at this point?
She seems to be doing very well by the way!

I would say around 2.5 months anywhere from 80g to 140g is probably average. I have a 2 month old female and she is about 130g before eating. She does seem under weight, and a pinkie is way too small especially every 2 weeks. I would say a hopper every 3-5 days sounds good. If you can try a rat fuzzie (no pup) every 3-5..

You should be feeding a little more often. Even once a week, she could take a larger hopper or rat fuzzy. Babies need more food than that, you don't want to overfeed certainly, but she might be stunted by that kind of feeding. At least try feeding every seven days if not every five.

I am feeding her roughly every 5 days now as I stated one hopper.

Stick to that schedule until your BP gets to around 300g. Then go to a 7 day schedule. Hoppers should be fine for now, once it gets to 300g or so, it should be able to take a small rat no problem.
