Saccharin's a bit of a fatty...? - 09/27/07 03:29 PM
Unfortunately, I don't have comparative photos. And I'm fairly sure this is normal, but input would be nice because I haven't found yet a chart that demonstrates the weight ranges of gliders as they grow.. nor do I have a mg scale to weigh them myself yet. :3
My roommate and I noticed that Saccharin looks way bigger than Cedric. She almost has what looks like extra chub around her face, as well as being.. generally.. wider? I can't always keep track of how much each eats because I have to sleep, but it seems Cedric and Saccharin eat about the same amount of their BML diet a night, and Cedric seems to eat more of the fruits/veggies than Saccharin. I watch them play when I can, and they're both very active.
What is a healthy weight for gliders that are almost 18 weeks OOP? Does anyone have a link to a site that has a chart showing the healthy weights/weight ranges of gliders?
As soon as I get a scale I can update this with their real weights, or even take some comparative photos. I'm guessing she's just a little heavier than him, but when they're side-by-side she seems giant.
(also, PS: I noted someone saying they fed their gliders pumpkin? is pumpkin safe? i don't think the canned kind is good, but if I bought, say, an organic/homegrown [no pesticides etc] pumpkin and cut it up, could they have a slice, or a seed?)
