    I've been weighing Phred weekly, but considering (s)he is only 70g (as of last Wednesday) he's going to grow quickly. Matilda is 360g and I weigh her once a month.

    Re: how often do you weigh your balls?

    About once a month. Especially since one of my girls haven't eaten in 48 days, I like to monitor her weight.

    Regularly when young, hardly ever when adults.
