I just recently started weighing my chins regularly and what is a normal weight fluctuation for a week or 2 week period? Two of my chins were 12-15 grams lighter (after 2 weeks) and I just wanted to make sure that was okay.
 
That seems to be normal around here. I weigh monthly and they go up and down a little bit. I just worry if they keep going down on down weight doesn't raise too many red flags
 
Not to revive a dead thread, but this is really interesting to me. I just recently re-weighed my chins after having a year with no functioning scale. They've both lost 6g in about a week and a half. I guess this is normal, though? I had a flu, so that was the only difference in their care...(two missed play-times)

I'll keep weighing them to make sure. Other than that, they are completely normal: behavior-wise, poo-wise, ect.
 
I find mine can fluctuate 10 grams either way between each weigh in. I weigh healthy chins once a month, dental chins get weighed daily.
