: Also, he weighed Eos and said she is heavy. She weighs exactly 4 oz., and the ISGA says 4-6 oz is normal adult weight. He approved of her diet, but said she doesn't look like she can glide (she can). What do you think? Any info on best glider weights?
Gliders generally weigh 80 to 130 gms. One ounce is nearly 27 gms. It is possible that for your gliders muscle and bone structure that 120 gms is heavy, on the other hand I have a glider that is 125 gms and not a bit of fat on him. It really depends on the glider. They come in different sizes just as we do.
