Default Teeny tiny

Out of curiosity, what's the smallest a robo can be/weigh, and are there pics?

Mine are roughly 10 weeks old and i don't know if this will help but you can compare her to the food bowl.

Do you mean as an adult?

As babies obviously they're tiny



As fully grown adults, I guess about 25g is small, but perfectly healthy. When my boys were getting sick their weight really went down. The Cloud dropped from 37g to 17g at the end and was just a little skeleton. I imagine a really tiny one could be lighter fully grown. Dasher was the runt of his litter so I was expecting him to be tiddly, er not quite eh Dash, 43g today!

From the weight in thread, it seems like 25-27 grams is average weight. My two girls are 25g each.

Ohh yeah my girls weren't that young. But I suspect they were very young still. They were incredibly tiny when I first saw them and had grown considerably when I got them 3 days later. I was told they were 5 weeks old, but I think barely.

They're not fat! That's a pretty good size. The Cloud as I said was 37g and he wasn't at all fat but he was very muscular. Dasher is over 10g bigger than yours and again there isn't a scrap of fat on him. He's very muscular and VERY VERY fluffy though!

This is Olive and Pickle at 5 weeks Hamtastic, you can see by the rice how big they are. How did your lovely girls compare?
