Weight?

[lillyorchid]

I brought Sebastian home on May 13th. He weighed just about 300 grams. I just weighed him again right now July 13th and he weighs 400 grams.

Is that a good weight gain for two months?
I'm just wondering if I should up the rat pup size....

You gotta be careful if you weigh him right after a meal it could be a little off.I put mine on the scale on feeding day before grub time .A 100g gain is great I average 75 for my bigger Bp's.

50 grams/month is good growth for a baby/juvi....must be a good eater! Except a nice sized nugget any day now though!

Nice! I would say thats a great pace for a 300-400 gram BP


Just be sure to take weights after a doodie, easier to get accurate weights on empty!
