She did..she's around 10 months now. When we adopted her on November, she's around 4/5 months old. She gains weight a bit slow though, even though she eats a lot. I think it's because she's very much active and runs around a lot. I've never seen a piggy sooooo excited when it's feeding time! She even stands up to get to the salad bag while hubby still holds it. 😂 She is 1098g this morning (she was 728g when we adopted her).

I remember when we adopted Sierra at 5 weeks old, she weighed around 450g and jumped to 600+g in 2 weeks! And she kept on growing fast. Today Sierra weighed 1412g. Rocky is the biggest at the moment. He weighed 1440g this morning, but I think that's because he started eating his breakfast before I managed to weigh him. :lol!:
 
Oh my lord, I thought Luigi was big at 1320! Rocky’s definitely a chunky hunk too!
Aah little Vegas, but not really little because weighs 300g more than my 7yr old Jess! :)) Definitely muscle though by the sounds of it being a loopy lady!:love: Sounds like she loves it at your house having fun and stuffing her face!:D Spoilt little Black Beauty!:love:

We tried putting Rocky on a diet a few months ago, less food and treats. But his weight didn't really go down much and sometimes he even gained a few grams. We don't really know why haha. He's not lazy or anything. We can see him run around and chase the girls at times. It's just that during feeding time, he tries to eat everything in one go and usually last to finish. He loves the piggyparcels, especially the plantains. I give them a bowl of mix dried leaves from piggyparcels and it supposed to last them 2 or 3 days before I refill it. Whenever I refill it, Rocky is the first one there and wolfs it down! 😂
 
Aah porky piggy! When he’s still running around can’t imagine he’s too overweight, just a big boy! How old is he again?
Luigi is just muscle, why he’s so hard to catch! But he’s not even 2 yet so in his prime piggy time, maybe it’s the same for Rocky! He’s always first to the bowl! He’s also the most loving piggy out of my three now, leaves it sometimes to say thanks and jumps all over me, but I’m not allowed to touch him too much!? Gives me that Rocky grumpy look! :))

Sierra is 1 year. 10 mos and we think Rocky is just younger than her by a couple of months or so. When we adopted Rocky from RSPCA on June 2019, they said he's around 6-12 months. We just based his age on when Sierra is the same weight as him, because Sierra and Rocky are like twins. They are both crested piggies too.
