Hatchling weights

[lauradxb]

So I am know up-to 14 little guys. I found the first one on the 19th aug then the next 8 over the next few days, then another 5 have turned up in the last 2 days.

Just wanted to check weights, I have been weighing them every morning and they are all quite up and down. How often should I weigh them?

They all started off between 17-26 g with a tiny 14g guy! Is that about right?

Thanks
Laura

I wouldn't go nuts weighing them. Weight will fluctuate daily depending on hydration, undigested food and excrement. I would weigh either weekly or bi-monthly.

Thanks for that! Think I have been panicking my self ( not to mention anyone else I can get to look at the excel sheets I made)

These look like normal healthy babies, but those weights are wayyyyy low. I think your scale might be off. My babies usually hatch around 40 grams. The biggest ever was 46, and I occasionally get a little one at 32-35 grams.
