someyimes they slow down. Just keep an eye on it for a couple of weeks

ps you don't have to weigh them every week unless they are ill

All sounds fine.
Often they lose weight if ill.
Or not put on weight, even if they are perfectly healthy - i.e. no appearent reason for it.
No reason to be concerned unless it continues.
