The day I got my baby Leopard, 5.18.10, he weighed 47 grams. I just weighed him today, 5.31.10, and he is 60 grams even!

I'm thinking maybe he was a bit dehydrated after his trip? He drinks water everyday now, and I know that can add a bit of weight. But seriously, 13 grams in 13 days??
He's a good eater, but he doesn't eat more than 1 pellet of Mazuri a day, and never finishes his greens.

Also, this is somewhat silly but I am completely stuck on what to name him. I had decided to call him Quinby, but then I just randomly started to call him Bentley in my head, and now I can't decide which I like better. Someone choose for me so I can put a name to his file!

Here's the little stinker being sleepy:

Neither of those names is striking me for him. Maybe that's why he's hiding. Weight gain seem okay to me. Not bad names. I'm just not feeling it for HIM. Sorry, I'm no help here.

That reminds me, I've got to weigh my little hatchlings again.

Names are hard ~ what is special to me won't catch your ear at all. I'm not feeling either of the two that you've hit on, but that's not implying they aren't fitting for your little guy. Q and B names? I like simply Quinn. I Like Benny <Bennie> or Banner rather than Bentley. What about Thaddius or Theodore? Don't get me started on names ;)

First of all, congrats that the little guy is gaining weight, that's great!! :)

I'm going to have to agree with Tom & Clyde. I don't think either of those names fit him, just my opinion though. He's beautiful though, whatever you decide on a name!

You guys are making this so much harder!
Honestly I don't like either of those names either. I'm way better at naming girls than boys, for some reason. I was initially attracted to the name Quinby because Quinn is pretty gender neutral, if I guessed the sex wrong.

Could he be a she?

I have no clue.

I didn't notice that! His/her brother doesn't even have a white belly. Odd.
