Weight gain for babies

[tiggersbabe]

I weighed the babies as you know when I got them and weighed them again today, is this a good gain for them?

Mimi was 313g
Mimi is now 321g up 8g

Tinkerbell was 288g
Tinkerbell is now 307g up 19g

These weights were taken on 7th and 9th Feb. Tinkerbell is the one who was in with her brother too so more reason to keep a check on her.

Is this ok for them?

Cheers

PS also ordered alfalfa hay for them so it should arrive in the next day or so.

ideally they should be weighed once a week as it can be as much as 30g difference for a full or empty bladder.

The weight gain is very good! At that age, you can switch to a once weekly weighing; the daily variance between a full/empty bladder/tummy can be quite noticeable and make up to 30g.

Best of luck - they are really tiny girls!
