doesn't work for marginated?

thats probably why my marginata has been underweight for some time.

I brought some new and hopefully better digital scales to weigh alfie (the ones i was using where not digital) and this is his weight accoring to them -

181g & 10cm

Is this okay ?

hi fi

in the 1st post you made alfie was 240g

in this last you mention he is 181g

is this because your 1st scales were not very accurate

in the care sheets section is a good copy of the jacksons graph from it i think alfie is above the dangerously low weight but slightly beneath the average mean weight

but really to get a more accurate weight weigh alfie once a week or every 2 weeks for a few weeks on your new scales then you can see a pattern developing

and aim to keep things constant eg same scales same time of day before bath before feeding etc also if alfie has recently had a poo it can affect his weight
