Taria not growing??

[horse_chic89]

I've had Taria for just over a month now, and I am a bit worried about her. she was growing when i got her, but she is still pretty small and hasn't grown for a while. this is like totally opposite to Briar, her brother. he is so much bigger and grows fast. is this something i should worry about, and should i give her something to get her to put on some weight??

I would say, keep a chart of her weight. If she is gaining slowly I would think that is ok. If she is losing then that would be reason for concern.
Babies often put on weight in the beginning and then slow down a bit.
Just remember hedgies come in all body types. Some stay small, and some get huge.

I concur. All hedgies are different, just as all humans are.

i weighed her, she is now 311g, between 3-4 weeks ago, she was 272. so she gained 40g. thats amazing! it really doesn't seem like she gained that much, but i guess that she did!!

Hehe and she may grow slowly as she may end up being a small hedgie. Glad to know she's growing some! :)

her mother is HUGE and her father is a big boy too, as far as I know most of Noels babies have all grown to be pretty large, but each hedgie is diffrent, but remember she's still young too.
