Uneven Growth

According to the breeder, my first two corns were from the same clutch. But they are far apart in growth. The black is about 20 grams while the ghost is only about 9 grams. At first, we could get the ghost to eat about half of the time. Lately, her feeding response has improved but she is still behind her sister in size and weight. Should I be concerned at the difference in sizes between these siblings? Thanks!
 
I'd agree with that. Each is an individual and clutchmates can vary a lot. It's logical at this stage that the smaller one is the one that's eaten less. I think it's just so noticable at the moment because they're young. Once they both reach adult size in around three years, you'll probably find they've evened up.
 
Thank you for the reassurance. I guess I just worry about my little girl. She is in shed right now, so she is growing. I'll just have to let her do it in her own time.
