I was just wondering who has the heaviest piggy

Cottonbud weight 1.2kg but i am sure she is a lightweight compared with some

So who is your heaviest pig and what do they weigh?

Lets celebrate their rotund chunkyness xoxo-c
 
butter is my heaviest she weights 950grams but shes not quite a year old yet.:))
 
I'm sure no matter how heavy everyone elses piggies are they wont be as heavy as claire's ruby she is a whopper but oh so beautfiul x)

hobnob says I'm ignorant for putting this but i ken claire and I are kinda on the same wavelength - just ask her about the old camp fire mallethead

will post our piggies weights later as need to do their wheekly weigh in
 
What's that in grams? Sorry. My heaviest pigs are Fat Sall: 1389g, closely followed by Rolfy who is 1368g. xx
 
Mine is Gypsy at 1300g on the nose but mine are all young so watch this space!

niki your pig's heaviest weight is amazing!
 
When I weighed the boys yesterday Stripes was 1322g and Spike 1296g
Spike's been to the vets today for an x-ray and when the nurse rang me to say how he'd got on she said he needs to go on a diet because he's over weight and has a podgy belly! (she should see Stripes, now he's a big boy!)
I'm glad you've started this thread, I can see he's not much different to other on here and as he's still bouncing about and very active I don't think it's a problem.

Do you have a pic at his heaviest and now to compare and have you had him on a diet? Wow he must have been huge!
 
My Fat Sall doesn't 'bounce' anywhere. She just waddles her big backside around. Just as well Jeremy her husband likes the larger lady. lol. x
 
I've got Benjamin who was 1441g last time I weighed him which was about a month ago. He's a right fat bloater...he gets around OK though and is quite swift...but he looks like a dinner plate when he lays down. And when he's running around upstairs and I'm in the lounge, he sounds like a baby elephant!:))

Yeah we've got a baby elephant as well! lol
When we first got Stripes (he was 2 1/2) he was in an indoor cage up on the breakfast counter, the first time he popcorned the whole cage moved! :(|)
 
Nerys and Llewelyn are actually nose to nose at 1300g, even though nerys looks so much bigger, with Taffy just behind at 1270g and eight month old Telyn fast catching up!

PMSL! I saw this and actually LOLed! The girl's right though, Ruby is a baby hippo! On a par with MintyandGarry's Ben!
 
I probably wouldn't have gotten "Heaviest Guinea Pig" title or anything, but Mr. Bojangles was pretty heavy...until he died. :'(

well all o mine are boys so are mostly heavier than the average girl, Panda is 1410gm followed closely by Zanzabar at 1398gm.
I do think my Boris wins though he has passed now but at healthy weight was around 1800gm
 
Ralph is: 1209
Arnold is: 1278

The difference is so strange. Arnold used to be so tiny.
Especially since there's a few months difference in age between them. Like 4 months.
Arnold is the youngest. I'm surprised he's quite so heavy.
Clearly he's the one who pinches all the veggies rolleyes
 
mojules certainly got almost the full works today much to their disgust :)) what was going to be just a bum wash turned into a full blown bath {:| then they got weighed to our surprise theyre not as heavy as we thought

Maurice - 1263g
Julien - 1113g

:)

I will have a look. He's a long piggy & to me he just looked like a stocky pig, i did describe him as my staffordshire bull terrier pig, he had the fat neck :))

His "diet" was adding an extra 3 girls & doubling the hutch size from 6ft to 12ft - he lost weight over a period of time & had me worried but the vets couldn't find anything physically wrong with him & put it down to stress.

I must admit it is better for him to be slimmer but it has left him with a "crease" just above his penis which now kind of "sweats" that i have to keep an eye on because it gets greasy & has bled when i've wiped it.

He also developed fatty eye & a huge swinging chin. Will go look for pics now & see if any difference can be seen :)
 
I must apologise for my error, i knew Toddie was 3lb 10oz & converted it to grams but in my book i have it in grams & his biggest weight was on 29th July 2009 at 1660g/3lb 10.5oz.

I don't have a pic of him on that day but near to the date.

Taken 25th June 09. Weight- 1644g

I wasn't aware of the significance of weekly weigh-ins for the piggies so have started today by weighing Bill. Two weeks ago our piggy sitter suggested he was too fat! At the weigh in today, he weighed in at 1360g. That doesn't seem too huge compared to others on here and he is very lively (and lovely!). What do you think?
