baby parrotlets weight

[trueblue]

My little guy is 9 weeks old and only weighs 19 grams. I'm a little freaked out because everything i've been reading suggests he should weigh more? Opinions anyone??

You are right to be concerned - he should be at his full adult weight of 28-32grams by now if he is a Pacific. Some of the other species weigh less, but none weigh THAT little. Your little one needs to go to the vet ASAP.

an update, my tsu is now about 16 weeks old. he weighs in at 20 grams and is perfectly healthy. i did not take him to a vet but he is friendly, plays and eats everything i give him. he is simply little.
