Growing

[Jbrophy1021]

Hi there I have 2 baby guinea pigs about 2 or 3months eating and drinking fine and I weigh them each week gaining weight but growing is slow and can’t really tell is this ok or I am over reacting about it should I be worried

Weighing them weekly is good but heft is also a good way to check their body condition. They can out on up to 50g a week but it’s all individual. They will grow at their own rate that’s right for them.

If they’re not losing weight then it’s okay. If I remember correctly they’re less than 1 year so should still be putting weight on weekly.

As long as they are gaining weight then that’s fine.

(Although following one from your age posts, if you got them in October which was four months ago, plus the time before they were old enough to be sold, more like 5/6 months of age)
