Are you weighing her at different times of the day. Try doing it in the morning before she eats breakfast. I think she is just a small IRN.

ok hope so, I will start getting weights at 10 or 10:30 am right before they eat there big breakfast, I weighed her this afternoon, going to get a differnet kind of scale to one with a perch on it, I have a digital scale but no perch on it, so sometimes it's hard to keep her still

My IRN Princess usually is between 116-120 grams. The vet said she would like to see more weight on her, but no matter how much she flies or eats, she still stays in that range.

I have 2 IRNs and an African. The African weighs 125-128 and he is not fat at all. My one IRN weighs 125 and the other only weighs 110. I have been making sure he eats extra as he was as low as 106 for a bit. I think it was the difficulty changing from seeds to pellets.

Now I give him lots of fresh food including scrambled egg to make him gain weight. I notice they weigh least in the mornings.
