Is this about average?

Here are the weights for my girls born on 05/11/11

03/03/12
525g + 575g

18/03/12
623g + 668g

09/04/12
746g + 788g

They seem to be gaining steadily and are very happy little girls.
I check them over and groom them every day.
They're certainly healthy girls as far as I can see and I'm not worried about them at all.
I just wondered if their weight gain is about average.
Thanks :)
 
Sounds perfect :))
Had a weigh in last night with ours and was shocked to discover Buffy, a smallish girl weighed 1038g and Pink, a larger girl was 1387g (both a year old)
Our smallest girl Winnie is around 6 months old and weighs just under 800g :))
Always good to weigh them, I do ours monthly unless I have concerns :(|)
 
yes - what you are looking for by weighing them is a downward trend any weight loss 60+ in a week needs to be investigated by a vet. If say for instance they lose 5 grams - 10 grams every week for a continuous period of time without gaining weight this also needs to be investigated.
