Izzy's a moose. He weighs 643 grams. When he hits 2 pounds, we're having him for Thanksgiving. ;)

ROFL! That is too funny. He's HUGE for a Grey.

Rowan is a CAG. She's 5 months old and 484 grams. I think she's on the big side for a girl. Incidentally, she pooped while on my scale yesterday and I found out that a nice sized Grey poop is approximately 6 grams if you were wondering.

OMG! I know, they have weighty poops! LOL
My Mother takes Izzy outside to poop before he's weighed. She whistles the "cartoon falling" noise, and as Izzy poops he makes a splat sound. It's hilarious!

LOL! You guys are so funny. I was reading your replies at work and laughing so hard my partner thought I was nuts!

and Tina... holey moley! 643 g! That is a big boy!

As for the 6 g poop, I will have to get back to you on that! I have never weighed the leftovers! lol!

Zoe is 18 weeks old now but flutuates between 380 and 400... this morning she was 398. I think 10% is about a safe flutuation would you say?

Oh, one more thing.... she does go through days where she doesn't eat much of anything, then a couple days later.... look out! Can't give her enough!
