Does it sound normal that our bp has gained 140 grams in 2 - 3 weeks? Can they go through a growth spurt? She looks like she has gotten bigger but I can't imagine that she has put on 140g in that short of a time. But then again, since I'm afraid of snakes, any growth is too much growth for me! LOL JK...I want nothing but the best for her!
About 2 - 3 weeks ago, she weighed 260 g and yesterday when we put her on the scale she was 400 g! The 260 g wasn't surprising because of a steady weight gain but the 140g jump was very surprising. We turned the scale off and on a few times weighing again and again and each time it read exactly 400g. Could this be a poo problem, the scale going on the fritz, or just a growth spurt? I haven't asked him if he seen any poo...didn't think to but, I'll find out when he gets up this morning. Otherwise she looks healthy and happy!
So, what's your opinion?
BTW, last week when I got he humid substrate we went to the same store that we bought her from and her cage mate was still there. I would say that her cage mate was almost twice as big as Foster (when we bought her, they were about the same size). They said that they were feeding her large adult mice every three days. Would this be considered power feeding or is Foster still small for her age? We got her this past December and at that time she was just over 100g if I remember correctly. Foster will only eat once every 7 days and won't take more than I prey per feeding.
Am I doing anything wrong (besides not keeping records)? If you need more info, let me know. Maybe I can have Kevin help me with some new pics tomorrow with something to compare his size with.
