I did not weigh them when they were first born ( I'm new to this and am not a breeder by any means!) but I weighed them at two days and they were all between 7 and 8oz each. Now at one week they are between 9 and 10 oz. Is this enough of a weight gain? They all seem fat and healthy and I know they have almost doubled in length as they would fit in the palm of my hand but now it takes two hands.
