First let me start off with this:

I saw I had a typo on my last post and figured I needed to correct it for documents sake. Sumi's weight went down to 166 grams that week, that was the confusion.

So it's another feeding day. What does that mean? Weigh in time while prey items thaw! Came home to found a steamer Sumi had got me. I've noticed their feces is getting pretty rank. Not sure why it was not so bad their first few poops, but Kei's yesterday was horrid in smell though it was solid (even had a tail on his poop...) Might have been that I gave them soaks a day before they pooped in warm water. Kei hated the tub, so I decided to try the sink. He freaked for a bit, but he seemed to figure out what was going on and he soaked and moved around in the water adjusting his head on the lip of the sink.



After getting him out it was the day to clean the bathroom anyways.

So back to the topic at hand. Weigh ins! Kei is now up to 478g (gain of 18 since last sat) and Sumi is up to 191g (gain of 25 since last week!) So it seems like it was the right move to bump her up to the small rat. I felt around in bags again at the store and got a smaller small for her and a larger small for Kei. I'm going to bump Kei up next week to mediums. Does this seem about right for his weight? Plus, he's gained some length and girth so I figure he's due for a meal upgrade. Also, I've noticed per the weight chart I'm keeping up that his weight gain has been going down. I'll keep everyone posted on how feeding goes.
