I just had a question about growth rates.
My boyfriend has an Okeetee and I have an Amel.
His was born the last week of August and mine was born the first week of September.
Now mine was a problem eater at the very start, missed two feeding while his has never had a problem and has taken every meal.
Now, his Okeetee is a lot bigger then my Amel.
I have a scale but it's a food scale that really doesnt show small grams well, so I'm not exactly sure how much bigger she is to him. From my scale readings my male is AROUND 12 grams and his female is AROUND 18 grams... I'm going to get a better scale this weekend.
But she's looks so much bigger then my male Amel.
Would she really look this much bigger from being a week older and having two more feedings then my male? Or is this a genetic thing (do Okeetee's grow a lot faster)? Or my last guess is that females tend to grow faster and be larger.
Thanks in advance!
