I picked up my baby sulcatas today and I thought they weighed more than yesterday (I had just weighed them). They weighed 62 and 56 yesterday and today they weighed 72 and 65!Yesterday was also the first time feeding them ZooMed Grassland pellets only 2 pellets and I usually feed them Mazuri with other greens and grass clippings. Bust last night alone they gained 10 and 9 grams is that normal? Could that because of the ZooMed food or what???

Because their little bodies are so small, anything they eat or drink adds weight. Then they pee or poop and they lose weight. Perfectly normal.

Usually they gain like 4-5 and lose like 2 grams that’s why I thought it was a lot?
