Ok the main reason that I would like to know a healthy weight for these Capra's is: 1. When we bought them they looked and still look pretty under weight. 2. we can see their hip bones quite clearly, now I am no expert on MHD's but I do know that if my Beardies or leopards were like that I would be concerned. 3. The main reason that I weigh my reptile's is to keep a healthy record IE. one week they weigh 60 grams and a couple of weeks down the road they weigh 45 grams. This would let me know that something is extremely wrong with them or with something I am doing so I can try my best to correct the problem!
I treat my reptiles like they are my children. And just like small children they get weighed periodicly to keep track of their health and growth rate.
Just thought I would let you know why I weigh them!
