? on baby leo

JAG Jun 28, 2003 10:47 AM

We bought an albino leo about 3 weeks ago, she was about 5-6 weeks old. I was wondering if it was normal/ok that she is only 5.5 grams in weight. She goes to the restroom every other day so I know she is atleast eating, but she only weighs this much. I believe she is about 2 months old, and by looking and reading about other owners and their leos, they weigh much more. My male leo i averaging 8-10 mealies a day not including crix. He has gained about 2 grams in about 2-3 days and is very healthy. Yet when he was younger too he didnt eat a lot either just one day he sprouted like a weed. Is this normal for most leos?

Thanks, Alicia

Every baby grows differently, so I would not be worried just yet. If she continues to gain eat and gain weight (even in small incriments) there is no problem. Good luck!!!
