Well Pendulum is my little Amel corn (Around 6-7 months old now) and he isn't growing in length, nor in weight really.
When I first got him, he was 12 weeks old, and weighed around 20g.
He was on a single pinkie a week.
He is now weighing just 27-28g after 18 weeks, and a move up to small rat pups, and then large rat pups.
Is it normal for him to have only put 7-8g on in 18-19 weeks?
Just thought I'd check as he doesn't appear to be getting longer either, measured his sheds, first one and second one were 9 weeks apart, and there was less than 1cm difference in lengths of the sheds...
Any insight into if this is quite a normal growing speed or not would be good.
Thanks for reading  |

Ahhh, nothing to worry about then, I just wanted it confirming from other people who have experienced a slower growing corn :)
Just making sure hes all healthy and stuff. |

For comparison, Neo and Trinity are clutchmates- Neo is 8g and still on pinkies, Trinity is 50g and on rat pups/small mice. |

i wouldnt worry too much, like any young animal, im sure he will have a big ol growth spurt when you least expect it lol
my two were the same.......not getting much bigger, then low and behold.....bang.....looking heavier, stronger, and feeding on bigger like its going out of fashion lol |

No such thing as normal, some grow fast some grow slow. As far as I'm aware pups/pinkies aren't as nutritional as fuzzy mice though don't quote me on it. I know Spot had a massive groweth spurt not long after changing to fuzzies. |
