Growth rate

zoe1 · 28-02-2008, 09:22 PM

We've had our 2 hermans since mid december, and i first weighed and measured them on 20/01/08.

I weighed and measured again today and one has put on 25g and the other has put on 32g

the 1st one has grown 5mm in width and 9mm in length, and the other 5mm width and 10mm length (measuring the flat bit underneat, i forget what it's called now though

.

Seems ever such alot in just 39 days - is it ?

i must agree 25g and 32g weight gain in just over a month does seem to be quite a high gain

but factors like having a bath soaking up water having a poo etc

can affect a true weight

you will have to see what they gain in the following month
