I am The Nitelion
I have 2 amels, both are 17g and have been that way for the past 3 feedings. They get a pinkie every 7 days that weighs 2-3grams. both of them about 2 inches behind the head like dip it around the spine. its not big and I cant get it in a picture. the pinky leaves a lump that is still there the next day. Anything I can do?
 
Personally I would take them to every five days and maybe put them on a multivitamin. You can also try splitting the pinks so they absorb them easier.
 
I never heard multivitamins as an advice for corns before... 17 grams ain't a lot, I would not worry too much of three feedings don't add weight. How accurate is your scale? It might just no pick up the extra grams...

The multivitamins are a pretty new thing to use with young corns! One of the big breeders here in the US did an experiment on young corns, one group was given vitamins, the other group was not. The group given vitamins grew much faster!
 
The is normally dead on, But I been noticing it acting weird lately and have been meaning to change the batteries. Im not worried about the not gaining weight tho its not the first time. since I have got them they normally dont gain anything for 2 weeks or so then jump up 2 or 3 grams one week, I got them at he end of sept and they were 7 grams each so there gaining weight and shedding a lot.
