    Question Normal Weight for a 8-9 month old

    My BP is weighing in at 268 grams at her age. Does this sound ok? Or is this a bit small?

    Kisasa is about 9 months and weighs 364 grams. I think bp's have quite a varied growth pattern and so long as he/she is eating regularly, you should not have to worry.

    Malachi was 9 months old yesterday and is 480 grams. Like everyone has said though, they all grow at different rates.

    LOL Bryan, actually only 2 rat pups (usually 13-15 day old ones...sometimes a few days older). Malachi's just always been a very aggressive feeder who seems to gain weight steadily and well. Course he was raised up well right, from the egg

    Re: Normal Weight for a 8-9 month old

    My girls are about 10-11 months of age and they vary in weight from 300g-450g as of last month. All were fed rat pups every 6-7 days and the girls that are now over 400g are fed weaned rats that are on the small side.

    Re: Normal Weight for a 8-9 month old

    I'm not sure how old mine is - guy said he was about 6 months old when I got him but not sure if I believe him.....so that would make him 9 months and he's only 150 grams.....
