| Sounds like a normal amount of weight to loose. I think its if its more than 15 percent of his overal body weight and then you should worry. But 14g is like 2.5 percent xx |

I think the general rule is they shouldn't lose more than 12% of their body weight. 6weeks is nothing, Izzy went without feeding for 22 weeks last year. He lost about 100g and I did get worried but tried him with a much smaller mouse than normal and he finally ate, Since he started eating again he has been a more consistant feeder than he ever has, only missing during shedding.
33 pinkies a week??? Thats power feeding on an epic scale LOL |

How often are you feeding?? Thats a huge amount of food a week. My snow baby only eats 1-2 pinkies a week as a fussy eater, but even lilly who's not a bit fussy would eat 6 pinkies in 10 days e.g.
Day 1 - 2 pinks
Day 5 - 2 pinks
Day 10 - 2 pinks |

33 pinkies a week would not mean a over wright snake it would mean a dead snake as my snow is only so small lol |
