Still gaining weight…

[Ruth1]

I read there in an article that Guineapigs continue to grow until about 14 months. Mine are 11 months now and still gaining weight - so that’s ok then?! Would that be other folks experience? I only know dogs - like at about 5 or 6 months you’d be saying - they won’t get any bigger - just fill out a bit. Just wondering do piggies ‘fill out’ up to about 14 months? Or …. Please don’t tell me they can’t have the pea flakes! We bond over pea flakes!

Yes it’s fine. They reach adult size around 12-15 months of age. They will find their own adult weight in their own time. As long as they are gaining while young or maintaining once they are in their prime and not losing weight then don’t worry!
