mine were 11-13 grams.
I have the smaller American zebras, not the larger European zebras.

Thank you for your answer. :)

I hope more ppl will answer.
Im doing a little research.

I placed one of my zebra finch fledgling (22 days old) on a scale and it weighted 16 grams.

My goal is to raise large zebbies, maybe i am on the right way :)

Thank you very much MLaRue!

I placed another of our zebra finch (breed by us) and it weighted 18 grams.
The one I weighted is about 9 weeks old.

I placed one zebbie (that i bought from a store) on a scale and it weighted 14 grams!
And its about 6 monts old.
