8 week old guinea pig

[Zofia]

I weighed my pigs yesterday. Babe is 8 weeks and she weighed in at 350g. Ernie is adult and weighed exactly 1kg.

I'm fairly sure that 1kg is a good weight for Ernie, but is 350g ok for a girly at 8 weeks?

I haven't been able to find weight charts for growing pigs anywhere online.

There's a really useful website that contains a lot of info on piggies including average weights. Hope it helps.

Sounds about right, my tiny girl was 350g at 8 weeks, sounds healthy to me.

Sounds still within the norm if a bit on the lower side! At that age, birth weight can still play a role.

Thanks Guys for your responses, but she's 2 and a half and 950g now! Still just as daft though, lol!
