    Re: New arrivals plus more!

    Try for every 5 days on the baby.. Every 3 days doesn't give their body a break from digesting. Means their heart is stressed from the effort. They gain just fine on an every 5 day schedule and it won't shock her system like an every 3 day schedule.

    i re-thought it and every 3 days did sound a little often. I'm just going to offer her 2 hoppers (supplier was supposed to give me small adult mice, theres no way these are adults.) for a few feedings until she fills out a little bit.

    It just worried me because she weighed as much as a hatchling at almost 5 weeks old and 4 meals. She's gained about 9 grams in my care thus far so something is going right, the triangular appearance she has just worries me. She's begun to perk up though, and tonight was feeding night so i got 2 of the smaller hoppers and she took them both.

    I'll continue posting pictures as she grows, i cant wait until shes big she'll be a stunning adult.
