I recently got an electronic scale from Wal-Mart to start weighing my chinchilla. I've looked around the site and internet and I couldn't find any threads concerning healthy weights for chins. What I'm asking is whether or not there is some like, chart that tells the average healthy weight for a chinchilla based on their age.
I weighed my little girl for the first time last week, she is 3 months and a week old and she weighed in at 303g. Is this okay? Is that too much? I've noticed that she has definitely grown a lot in the past month, but I assumed that she was just finally growing into herself. She has some out of the cage time but it's typically me handling her since she's so young and I worry about her exhausting herself too much. So if she's too heavy I can make sure she gets more exercise. I'm just not sure what weight I should be hoping she's around.
If anyone would share their weights possibly? Or just give me a better idea I would really appreciate it.
Thank you!
