Weekly Weighing and Spotting Trouble Early

About this course
Baby reptiles and other small exotics hide illness well, and by the time a baby looks thin, it may already be in trouble. This course shows you how to catch problems weeks earlier with a simple weekly routine. You will learn how to choose a precise scale, identify each baby, weigh at the same time every week, and turn your numbers into growth charts that show trouble at a glance. You will learn what normal growth looks like for different animals, how to spot a baby that has stopped growing, when weight loss means it is time to call your exotic vet, and how to work through the possible causes. You will also set up hospital bins, track treatments, keep a master ledger, and pass complete records on to new owners.
