Nile's weight...

Here is a more recent photo of Niles from about 2 weeks ago. He is now almost 7 inches but only 46 grams. Look at his plump belly though! and he eats all his veggies

this is just a guess... maybe he has MBD. could that account for the weight disparancy? maybe someone could elaborate on bone health and weight. either that or you have your scale set on tare.

Thanks for the new picture.
I would seriously check the scale.
From the image, and of course that is not completely conclusive, he appears to be of healthy weight and more importantly, is growing as indicated by his sheding of skin.
Can you check with another scale?
