Gecko Growing Slowly/Not Growing?

[SonrienteMuerte]

I got a young gecko in September, and I weighed him for the first time (As well as my other geckos, since I didn't have a way to weigh them before) in October. I weighed them again Yesterday, (I lost my scale... Everything got moved, and things got misplaced) and he has only gained 9g, as he now weighs 22g. I am just worried because when I got my second gecko, she gained weight and grew rather quickly, but that was during the summer, so I don't know if the weather has something to do with it or not? It has been a crazy fall/winter and I moved my geckos so they would be warmer. I know he is eating, and he is using the bathroom regularly. He is also drinking his water. I feed him 5 meal worms every other day, and let him eat at his own pace. I know he eats them because I check his cage for them, and I've only ever seen one that he didn't eat.

I have found that different leos grow at different weights. For example, I have a hatchling born last Sept that weighs 12 grams (it took her a really long time to start eating) and one born in July that weighs 40 grams. As long as the gecko is pooping and eating well and the tail doesn't get thinner I think it's fine. You might want to see if the gecko wants more than 5 mealworms at a time.
