According to my scales and calculations Basil has put on 27g in the last month, going from 45g to 72g, is that even possible? Seems like loads! He is about 6cm longer too. I have moved him up to larger mice, so I guess that could be why?

Yep totally normal one of mine gained 35g in just over a month and a half! It seems as soon as they get onto smalls they grow like weeds!

That's what I thought, his growth accelerated when I moved him up to fluffs from pinkies too. Really need to finish his viv, he is definitely getting too big for his faun!

Yep, always happens, when they go up a size :-)

I had my Bazil in XL faun till she was almost 100g, then she went straight into her big viv.
