4 months old and no weight gain this week

[molzify]

As title says, last week Pumpkin weighed in at 669g, this week she's 681g. Bramble last week was 624g, this week its 625g.

Do I need to start weighing daily or stepping in with supplements? The girls are both good eaters, they eat quite happily in front of me and when I'm not around, I can see the evidence of them eating their hay, nuggets and veggies. I wonder if its because I tried them with sprouts twice this week and didn't eat them, they usually get 120g of veg every night between them (so roughly 60g each) but obviously if they weren't eating sprouts they weren't eating all the 120g.

Sprouts it’s not Christmas yet! I wouldn’t worry too much as long as Bramble is healthy and eating well, pooing and weeing. You could weigh her daily at the same time if it stops you from worrying too much. Sometimes it’s because they have just recently wee’d or they have a full stomach, it can make a difference of 30gms

It wasn’t a dramatic drop, so I personally wouldn’t be concerned. I don’t see any need to give supplements. Perhaps weigh again in a couple of days rather than waiting for a week if you want to put your mind at rest though.
My boys are older (one is 9 months and other 10 months) but one of them weighed 1090g one week, the next weighed 1098g and then jumped up to 1130g and now is at 1170g

I think no weight gain isnt as worrying as a weight loss, if there's no weight gain 2 or 3 weeks in a row thats a worry but at that age some weeks my piggies gained 60g and sometimes they didnt gain anything... averaged over 4 weeks they gained about 20-30g a week but it varied a lot!
Their weights sound a bit heavier than my piggies at that age but within 50-80g.

Take a deep breath and don't worry. Both boys are very good weights for age. That means that their steady weight first gain is slowing down sooner. Only worry if there is a weight loss over 50g or if the weight gain stops for much longer. Sometime between 4-6 months, the weight gain switches from steady to stop and go.
