Finally gaining weight, hope he keeps it!
I've been having trouble with keeping Magnus on weight, but he's finally at 260g two days after eating, and once he poos I'll weigh him again. He wouldn't break that 200g-mark for the longest time, so I'm thinking he's just gonna be a shrimpy boy, but I've got him proper on rats now, and he's always been a garbage disposal, so hopefully this is the start of a solid upswing! He's gonna need bigger hides, though. Heh. I always see posts about how people's 2012s are already at 500g, 600g, and I know he's a late 2012, but I've been getting really nervous about his weight. He's not a difficult eater, but he never gained anything on mice, so here's hoping he'll do better with rats!
Blurry scale pic from phone:

I'll probably be monitoring his weight on this thread, as I'd like to keep an active record of his growth at this point.
