Panther Baby Weight - Proper Development Rate

[TCMontium]

My 10 baby panthers hatched and growing well (I guess...?). First baby hatched at 04-18-2015 and last on hatched at 06-22-2015. I don't know why but they hatched unsynchronized. Approx 2 babies hatched every week.
I wanted to mention this long hatching period because my babies are not quiet big (I think). I did never see a baby panther with my own eyes and never heard of how big/heavy babies should be at which ages.
(The ages below are not for sure after 1 month, I just guess that bigger ones are older)

- They all hatched 0.40 gram and were 0.35-40 gram for the week after hatching (apparently somehow they loss weight after they hatch).
- When they reach 4-5 weeks of age they are 0.55-65 gram (males grow faster).
- The ones which reached 2 months (8-9 weeks) of age are 0.70-80 gram.
- The oldest two which are max. 2,5 months old (11-12 weeks old) are 1.22 grams (female) and 1.31 grams (male) today. These two were 1.02 grams (female) and 1.12 grams (male) just at 06-30-2015, 9 days ago.

So, are they too small? I see photos of huge male panthers which are told to be 3 months old. They look like as big as 8-10 grams to me from photos.
To me, It looks like my babies are beginning to grow rapidly after 0.70 gram (8 weeks old) but I don't think my little guys will be like 10 times heavier in 1 month. Oldest pair has just 2 weeks to be as big as supposedly 3 months old beasts.

I feed them daily with hydei flies dusted properly, they eat as much as they want. After 2 months of age I try to feed them some locust, tartara (red runner?) roaches and crickets but they still eat hydei mainly.
Uvb and misting is all great too. The ambient temperature is 24-26 celcius and there is no basking (uvb bulb does not provide much heat, maybe even no heat).

Clutches of babies grow at different rates. As long as they are eating and pooping I wouldn't worry to much. I would however keep offering them very small crickets/pinheads and if they start eating more maybe they will start growing more. They very best to you and your babies. Any pictures of them?

They eat and poop very fast and much. But when they are younger than 1 month of age, they do not eat more than maybe 10-15 flies per day (they eat less the day after). People say hatchlings eat 20-30 flies per day. When I give more flies it takes 2-3 day for them to eat them all (I do not give them so many because calcium wears off when flies live for several days).
After 1 month of age they eat much more flies, they hunt all flies down with ease. Unfortunately they do not eat as many locust, cricket or tartara. They eat 1-3 of those if I put bugs on leaves in front of them. After they eat 1-3 locust, cricket or tartara they do not eat more of them BUT if I give hydei they eat MANY. So, I think they do not like bugs as much as flies OR bugs are too big to eat many and flies look like snacks?
They do never eat bugs if I put them in a cup at the bottom of cage (rarely 2 or 3 of them gets eaten).

These are between 2-4 weeks old:

They are really cute babies! If the insects are to big they want eat them. Try to find them very small crickets. I would feed my babies pinheads along with the fruit flies but they did like the flies better at first. Soon they should be big enough for house flies, if you can buy those there.

Thanks, they are really cute and sometimes annoying but all babies are like that I guess.
House flies are not being bred or sold in Turkey.
I can find pinheads or cricket eggs next week hopefully.
