Hi all! I am new to the forum and a new Suggie mamma. I adopted a male and female off Craigslist in February, and have been reading everything I can get my hands on and trying to give these sweeties the best home. I found out a week after I adopted them (at their first vet visit) that my female was pregnant! I'm super excited but do plan on neutering the male as soon as baby is weaned. She has a single healthy, beautiful baby boy we named "Truffle." He is 3 weeks OOP as of today. My question is, everything I am reading says they should only weigh 17-27 grams. My baby is 36 grams! Is this because he is an only child? Is this normal for anyone else? All along he has been bigger than the charts I read. Just curious! Fortunately mom and dad have been amazing parents and obviously taking great care of him. Just wondering if anyone has had this happen. Thank you!

The joey may also be a little longer OOP than you think. Moms sometimes stuff joeys back in the pouch especially singles for a while after they have actually detached and should be officially OOP. If you remember the date the joey opened its eyes you can count back 10 days to get a better estimate of the OOP date.
