Weight gain?

[MintyAndGarry (TEAS)]

Dave has been with me now for just shy of a week. He was 525 grams when he arrived and is now about 560 grams (the joys of old fashioned scales!)

Was just wondering how much is a good amount for him to be gaining? He is eating well and is getting bigger by the day (in size!).

i personally would say any weight gain is a good gain. he should have a growth spurt and gain heaps of weight. if he is eating, drinking, pooping and happy and healthy i think any weight gain is good. O0 our zoe put on 30 grams in 2 months and we are over the moon about it. perhaps check the thread i saw somewhere on average weights for piggies at certain ages. sending hugs :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: you go dave O0

As long as he gains and doesn't lose it is fine.
