    Good weight gain or no?

    My female bumble currently weighs 227 grams. Last time I weighed her she was 199 grams. Is that a good amount of weight for her to put on?

    I'm not experienced with BPs yet but I think if someone else were to help you with that calculation they'd need to know how long of a time it was since the first weighing and the second

    The best way to weigh them is after they have pooped, they usually lose a good few grams when they do go

    So she gained that in 1 week? That is pretty good! Just be careful not to over feed.
    How old?

    Sounds like you been doin good! Just remember,feeding more small meals is better than fewer large meals.
    If you need to upgrade to mediums,then go for it. Remember tho, nothing bigger than her girth, and you cant go wrong.
