Default Hatchling weight.

Weighed my two T. g.g. hatchlings today and after 2 weeks one has gained 9gms and the other 4gms. They measure 4cms and 3.75cms respectively. Is this a good weight gain or is it too much or too little? They are now eating weeds, although I only have clover,dandelion leaves(grown in a tray) a blue flowered thing the name of which escapes me and a milky sapped weed, the name of which also escapes me!! We've had no rain this year so nothing is growing,weedwise. I've planted various weeds in trays and have sainfoin up several inches now.There are hibiscus leaves and flowers, tradescantia,petunia and vine leaves on offer. Anyway, I just want to ask if the weight gain is good or not.
