Weighing Hiccup Q

So, I bought a nice digital scale from Argos today ( Not good as Christmas is here :< )
And I weighed Hiccup, in his feeding tub ( only tub I found as the other two at the moment are inhabited by meal worms and wax worms) and apparently, at four months old, he weighs 56 grams. I checked the weight feeding chart, ( although they aren't always right) apparently, he should be on fuzzies, or hoppers. I know fine well that That is wrong, as he's having two pinkies every 5 days! Is there an average size for a four month snakeling ( I just love that word) someone could tell me?
Thanks all! [emoji216]
 
Did you reset the tare to offset the container he is in? That seems very big at 4 months. Lol. I thought ours was growing fast and he is only 31 grams at that age.

Well, I weighed the tub by itself a little while ago and now apparently ( My math skills haven't always been the best) he weighs 14 grams. When I get home ( at my grans) I'll fully read the instructions, and weigh Hiccup ( poor things been out today 3 times. Hope he doesn't mind )[emoji10]
 
LOL!! And every time you start a thread with "Hiccup" in the title I think something is wrong. :)

Haha, he's doing well, he's actually quite tame ( admittedly, I thought he'd race around trying slither away from me lol)
Got an organizer book and will weigh em weekly and keep records of shedding. Hopefully he'll shed soon :)
 
We are still weighing Crush in the cup he came in. He is about to out grow it. He doesn't appreciate being place in it anymore. lol He is a Creamsicle. I thought he was off to a good start growing. He is at 31 grams right now. We did probably go a little long on doubling up on pinkies though. 56 grams would be awesome at 4 months old.

He's a lovely 20g! Not madly keen on being taken out again, but he settled down enough to be weighed, but had to hurry when I weighed Toothless as my cat spotted him, and started whipping her tail, which is what she does before she pounces :( he's a chubby 66g :D
