Hi Guys,

We weighed Milo and he is 38grammes, from the feeding guide he should be on a fuzzie? The shop told us a pinky every 5-6 days, but I am worried that we will be underfeeding him.

He is active when we are handling him, and seems fine, stays in his hide alot, although seems to be more interested in us now.

Alicat

When you feed him does a single pinkie leave a small bump? if thers only a small bump try him on two pinkies and when they dont leave much of a bump try him on a fuzzie.. at that weight he probably should be on fuzzies by now.. how long is he and how old is he?

I haven't managed to measure him, yet, he hasn't stayed long enough for me to measure a piece of string against him. I am a bit hazy on how old, as all the shop would tell me was between 2-4 months. I have had him since the 12th September. I will have a look tonight when I feed him.

i think he would be slightly older than that..my 4month old corn is coming up to about 25-27g's so i think yours may be closer to 6months..
next time you feed him try him on 2 pinkies and see how that goes
