Is my crested on track?

Tigergenesis Apr 10, 2005 12:38 PM

My male Crested was born around May of 2004. I just weighed him and he is 29 grams and I think (best measurement I could get) he's about 7.5-8.0 inches snout to tail. I know if can vary between individuals, but I was wondering if he sounds like he's where he should be?

i wouldn't worry about it. that sounds like a pretty darn good weight for being less then a year old. some may boast heavier cresteds for the age, but if it's fully filled out and has a healthy diet the i wouldn't change anything that you're doing to make it gain weight faster or anything like that.

he is a little light.....but nothing i'd be too worried about, as long as he's eating for you.

He's fine, Tiger! They vary in size even at full growth depending on genetics. Enjoy him!
