Large weight jump

[Isla&Steve]

Hello, today the boys had their regular weekly health check and weighing, they have both gained around double what they usually do, Kuzco has gained 46g and Kronk has gained 55g (which worries me the most), I don't think I have changed their diet much exept that they now get more variation (lettuce, corriander, pepper and cucumber) but still only around 50g each a day and they only have a tablespoon of nuggets each every other day (and obviously endless hay). Do I need to start weighing daily? Have I been overfeeding? They are both still very active I am just a little worried as I have read on the forum that any weight increase over 50g is cause for concern. Thank you in advance.

I wouldn’t be concerned about this as a stand-alone event, particularly if they are young and growing. You may find that next time they don’t gain so much

How old are your piggies? I have an 8 month old and she has gained 40g this week where as last week she only gained 20g I wouldn’t worry

We do not know age for certain our best guess is around 4 months old, but I feel like Kuzco is younger for some reason but that may just be because he’s smaller, I think the jump just scared me

They should gradually be gaining weight until they reach 12-15 months old
