Is he holding steady there? Or gaining or losing?

My female is about 10" and 160g, the male is about 13" and fluctuating around 190g. They are similar in their hit and miss eating habits, but produce poo regularly.

the sporatic eatin is normal.....but i'm not sure if the weight is....my only mali is only 9 inches right now. so i couldn't tell ya. but they sound healthy, and as long as he isn't loosin weight (as said above), he/she should be fine. mine sometimes won't eat for 2-3 days, then eat and eat and eat. just the way they are.

hope this helps
