Shy's still not putting on any weight, he's still 15g (An august 09). Here are his weights since he started eating again (he gets weighed on feeding day, but after we got him back from the pet shop there is a gap as we fed him in his faun and were completely hands off until he had a few successful feeds and a gap where he didn't feed before his shed: 13/02/10 12g(didn't weigh him during his hands off period) 04/03/10 16g 07/03/10 14g (weighed him before feeding day to check what to order) 15/03/10 11g (Post shed, DNF once before shed) 20/03/10 14g 25/03/10 14g 30/03/10 14g 04/04/10 16g 09/04/10 15g He feeds really well now, and is still in hunt mode after feeding. He's been on 2 pinks totaling around 4-5g. He tends to poo two days after a feed (usually on me) and then again on the fourth day after a feed. Is it anything to worry about, or is he just a slow grower? Would you try him on something slightly bigger/fattier? Does he need a vet's trip to check for parasites etc. I've got 2 pinkies defrosting for him at the moment. Am I just being an over protective mum?
