Tiny
Teenage Guinea Pig
So, my two are now approx 11 weeks old. I've been weighing them roughly weekly (Willow more so because of her abscess and op). They're different breeds - Willow's poss. sheltie mix, Marble is Aby/Abruvian type. First question - can/do different breeds weigh more/less?
I'm not overly concerned as they both eat well, wee/poop normally and are active. I understand they should be gaining 20-40g weekly but it seems Willow's doing less than this and Marble more. I've noticed this today when I weighed as they've always been close in weight but now Marble's a real chunk! Should I be concerned that a) Willow is underweight (she is putting weight on, except straight after the op where she lost a bit but has since put on) or b) Marble is overweight? Or should I just stop analysing as they're both healthy
Here's dates/weights in grams:
Date - Willow - Marble
29/10 - 327 - 324
02/11 - 360 - 359
04/11 - (Willow's op)
05/11 - 343 - 371
06/11 - 351 -
07/11 - 373 -
10/11 - 388 - 397
12/11 - 403 -
18/11 - 411 - 473
