Hi there

Sorry no one has replied to your post yet, the weight gain does sound very small, but I am no expert. There is a guide called the Jackson's Ratio for hatchlings but I can't seem to find it.
With regards to the poo sample, any vet should be able to screen it for you. I know it needs to be very fresh.
