Weighing day!!

[bogart20]

Every month on the same day I got my Indian star I weigh him
Last month he was 3 months old and he was 20.7 grams and 1.7 inches
Now he is 21.4 grams and he looks to be 1.8 inches!!! Wooooooooooooo he's gettin bigger!!!

Glad he is going in the right direction.

Glad he is going in the right direction.

Agreed...I so-o-o-o hate it when they shrink!

But, seriously...I weigh/measure my darlings on the first of each month. Good way to see how they're coming along.

It's pretty surprising how much they grow in such a little time

I think you should be getting a bigger monthly gain than that. How's his appetite?

I do the same thing every month with my leopard on its hatch day. It will be 3 months November 15th.

It gained 24 grams between September and October 15th. But it's a much bigger species. Glad to see yours is gaining rather than losing! It's interesting to see how much other species gain. I'd love to have a star but it's out of my price range right now.

His appetite is getting better. The first week or so he wasn't eating very much. How much of a gain is average for indian stars??
