I can bring in a sample to be tested but she is actually gaining a ton compared to her growth records from her breeder. She was 250 at the end of march, beginning of april and prior to that she seemed to gain lightly. She was 110 grams in july of 07, 145 in august, 205 in november, and 250 in march. Her gain in the two months I have had her is much more than she gained in her first year. In the less than two months here she has gained 120 grams. In any two to three month period the first year, she gained thirty to fifty grams. From looking at the growth chart that was posted in the growth chart thread, I am actually reassured that her growth rates are within the range of normal. She seems to be in a big growth spurt right now.
I will definitely have a stool sample done. But her breeder seems to be quite conscientious and she seems really healthy to me.
We feed as big of mice as we can find but still have not found any that equal her girth size. I weighed her today to be sure our mice were the right size and they are not. The mice we have average 25 grams. So she needs bigger ones. My plan is to feed her every five days until her body looks a little more filled out, get her checked for parasites, and keep track of her weight and the mice weight.
