Hello Marion
The white patches could be ringworm but without seeing it it’s impossible to diagnose.
You really do need to weigh them. They will be scared but they soon get over it.
I don’t know where you are but with the weather so mild I wouldn’t be thinking of looking after anything over 400gms at the moment especially as you are feeding them.
It may be that it would be an idea to scoop up all 3 of them and have a carer check them over if they are less than that or you are worried.
It never hurts to do that and put them back if no concerns are found
