Yes, you're right. The breeder was a friend of mine, before I got her, I told him to take care of her until she starts taking rat pups or hoppers, as I don't have easy access to pinkies in my area. He told me, she only started eating at 4 weeks and she was fed with pinkies. I think pinkies are not as nutritious as rat pups or small hoppers. When I got her about 2 weeks ago, she just started taking small hopper mice. Thus, maybe the weight. She hatched on Aug.8 btw.

@Don: I guess I just got paranoid, technically she just skipped for 2 weeks because of pre-shed, as well as the new environment to settle-in. I just got her from the breeder. I heated her tub because another breeder friend advised me to raise her tub's temperature a little more, especially in the morning since it's a bit cold in my place in the morning this time of the year.

Glad to hear you enjoyed your stay here in my country.
