Weight

[sazzy11]

I weighed both my piggies yesterday

pip is about 12/13 weeks and weighed in at 700g and
pop who is about 9/10 weeks weighed in at 500g

Does this sound about right. Pip has put on 200g since i last weighed him on the 21st june

I've just weighed Star and he's 575g. Nikki said he was the heavier of the two so I would say they are about right. Pip's obviously growing rapidly at the moment!

Thats good then They both are eating well but i just wondered if the weights sounded about right for there ages as i've never had baby piggies before nemo was my first piggie and he was 3 when i got him

They can vary so much too! I've got a couple of piggies who have always remained small. They seemed to stop growing once they got to about five months so although they don't weigh a huge amount they are quite solid because they are small. Although in saying that one of my smallest pigs is also my heaviest! LOL

Its worth making sure they continue to gain weight while they are still growing. Your Pop looks a right little character. I have to say I don't think i've ever seen a piggy with such a mischeivous look! I can imagine him getting into all sorts of trouble!
