What did they weigh when they hatched, 30g? 90g?

An eight month old born at 30-40g isn't doing too bad if he's now 250g.

Also, with my babies, I find that they go through faster growth spurts as soon as i can move them up to a larger food item. I honestly dont think it takes very long to get them up to 500g once they can eat smaller rats/rat weans at 250g.

And of course , we are talking about Balls, problem feeding seems to go with the territory

But who knows? Every breeder/keeper does things differently. One might purposely try to not overfeed, and one might be skimping on costs or time.
