    Weight loss

    As this is my first year with "adults", I have some that are refusing pretty consistently thanks to breeding season. Although I am not breeding this year, I'm sure they can tell the temperature changes. Either way, I have at least 2 males that are refusing almost every week. I know it's normal and I'm not that concerned, I'm just curious how much weight loss is acceptable. I male pastel used to be my biggest guy, and I think he's lost about 100 grams in about 2 months. My male mojave also seems to be a little "thinner" than he used to be. How much do you guys consider acceptable to lose? At what point should I worry with the weight loss?
    Thanks
