Great info! Here are my two:
(both egyptians)

Nebu:
12/1/02: 7 grams
6/4/03: 29 grams

Boulder:
length: 21 inches (has not changed perceptibly)
1/24/03: 1260 grams (probably dehydrated)
2/10/03: 1440 grams
6/1/03: ~1600 grams
(Note: I believe Boulder's weight fluctuates /- ~50 grams depending on when he's gone to the bathroom)

Any luck with breeding? If none of your males are large enough next spring maybe Lucy and Boulder could get together.

I love the fluctuation about going to the bathroom-
Sometimes these big guys seem to pass about 300 grams!!!!
My cats do smaller movements.

If I do brumate this season I will definitely give it thought.
