We got a more accurate scale today and weighed Magyk, she's as 540 g. According to everything I have seen, that is under the ideal weight for a female but she doesn't feel skinny or anything, she's definitely active and doesn't seem unhealthy in any way. She's a pet so being larger for breeding is not a concern, I'm just worried that maybe she should be bigger?

She's on unlimited Oxbow pellets with a mix of various Oxbow hay. The only treats she gets right now is the occasional piece of shredded wheat and a rosebud or two a week.
 
Chins come in all sizes. If she not skinny I would not worry about her being small as long as she is healthy.
 
Yeah I have a boy who is quite tiny but very healthy. I think its alright as long as all the signs are healthy :) Just petite
 
I have a girl around that weight too. As long as Magyk doesn't feel boney and is bright eyed and bushy tailed she's fine.
