Hello :)

I have recently bought two baby guinea pig sows, Popcorn and Minstrel! I want to weigh them weekly for the next six weeks just to make sure they're both putting weight on - I think Popcorn is eating much more than Minstrel, so I want to make sure they're both healthy and growing as they should. They are not my first guinea pigs, but my first from such a young age (most of my previous have been rescue pigs aged from about 6 months). I was just wondering if anyone has an average weight chart for sows and can tell me how much weight they should be putting on weekly? Thank you very much :)
 
It is hard to say really but you should be seeing increases each week

How old are they?

They're six weeks and four days old. Would you say an increase of 20g-50g a week would be enough (I haven't weighed them yet, so I don't know the starting weight!). They have unlimited hay, correct amount of pellets and their veg allowance daily. I just want to make sure they're both getting their fair share! :)
