The best info I can find on growth rate of kits is that they should double their weight by 2 wks. These are nzw/sf crosses. At birth the total weight of 6 kits was 10.7oz at 2 wks they weight 38oz total. they have all gained a minimum of 2oz in the last wk.
Does this sound right? Both parents never made Sr. weight so I am trying to track them fairly close.
 
kintrax/animal has pretty nice little weight trackers. You can compare a kit to it's litter for instance. I don't update it as much as I should, though. I think each herd grows a little differently, so my approach is to take data on several litters before I even start looking at it. I don't know, maybe someone else will have a better benchmark estimate.
