Weights in guinea pigs can vary widely; the birth weight alone can vary from 40g to 140g - that is more than three times the size! Things don't get any easier as they grow. The adult weight can vary between 800g-1500g and still be considered healthy...
As long as your two babies are lively and growing steadily each week, they are fine. They reach adulthood only at around 15 months, so there is a lot of time for each to reach their optimal genetically determined weight.

thank you for your reply I was worried that they are too small. Only weighed them today as wanted to give them a few days to settle in. They are eating tons of timothy hay and some fruit and veg plus a little nuggets, they are not eating a lot of nuggets. they are funny the dart in when they see us, in a few months they will be shouting for food. want to build a c and c cage when they are a bit older. Have a large hutch outside for spring summer
