So, i got Sienna on 30/07 this year, told by previous owner she is 3 or 4yrs old and a proven female. She measured 4.5ft and weighed in at 731g. Apparently she was on one small mouse a week. It was pointed out on here by a few experienced members she may be a little bit of a heffa so i put her onto a diet of 1large mouse every 3wks. She is now weighing 721g so has lost 10g in just under 2 months. I have been doing lots of handling and stair climbing with her. Is this a healthy rate of weight loss?

sounds like you are doing all the right things. Griffin is a bit more than that but he is loosing weight slowly too
