So since Carl is a Hermann's, I've been using the Jackson ratio to see where he's at weight vs. length wise. Today I measured him and he's at .176 on the ratio. I know that ideally a tort should be between .19 and .21. Since I measured him about a week ago, Carl has grown almost half a centimeter, but actually lost a gram.
Should I take the Jackson ratio this seriously or is it more of a rough guideline?
Carl's definitely been eating up a storm but I did weigh him today before he ate breakfast which I usually wait until after.
