6 weeks ago I picked up a baby albino. The breeder claimed she had been feeding on rats and shed, and she was in shed again when I got her. She looked pretty tiny but I took his word for it. After a bad shed I started trying to feed her. I literally tried everything on the menu in the past month, but she just didn't seem to want to eat. I weighed her a few days ago and was not happy to see she was only 50 grams. I looked up some methods on assist feedings and went ahead with that. It went really smooth and she seems to be more active already and looks better.
What size are babies usually when they hatch? Is it even possible for her to be that small if she had been feeding? I sort of feel like i was mislead and was sold a problematic hatchling. I got a good deal on her so it was sort of expected, i guess.
