My 3 year old female Blood isn't even anywhere near that heavy. I just threw her on the scale and she currently weighs 2,873 grams (6.33 pounds). I just recently started feeding her large size rats and since then i've only been feeding her every 14 days. As slow as their metabolisms are, i'm afraid to feed her a large any more often than that. All of the other ones are getting a medium rat every 7 days. Prior to that, they all got a small rat every 7 days and before that they would get a weanling every 7 days. I think I had them all on rat pups every 7 days at the size they were when I first got them. All of my Bloods and Short Tails (except for one with regurgitation issues) look nice and fat and I can only see a hint of their spines like you're supposed to. Other than that I don't know what else to go by...
haha, my bad. That was supposed to be 7lbs, commenting from my iphone is a pain and you cant see the text as you type without scrolling and its a whole ordeal.. but anyway he's about 7lbs now. I haven't put him on a scale but he weighed in a few grams over 6lbs in April. He also hasnt pooped for me in a while. The only other thing i can figure is maybe he is older than i was told when i bought him, i'm not sure whether or not that would affect his growth rate though.
