Is this normal

[sprice37]

So I think I have a pig on my hands. 40 grams of weight gain since monday. Is this normal for a 4 montha old to gain that fast?

40 grams in just a few days, that doesn't sound right :11: average weight for an adult CAG is between 400-650 grams, to gain up to 10% of adult body weight in just days would seem just about impossible, is whats going in comming out?

40 grams in a few days, sure does not sound correct.
Did you perhaps weigh him just after he had eaten?
Even then a change of weight by 40 grams is highly impossible, in a few days for such a young bird.
Did you perhaps change the diet, food pellets etc, anything new?

I was thinking, if your using an electronic gram scale you might want to check and see if its functioning properly, maybe try recalibrating it

Are you weighing every morning, before he eats breakfast? Weight should be taken around the same time everyday you weigh.
