Adult Guinea Pig
If a 10month old piggy hasn't grown in 6-8 weeks is it likely she's reached adult weight or will she have a growth spurt at some point
So little caramel has always been small, but she eats well and is healthy (heft is OK but feels skinnier than the others) her sister is small too just not quite as small and she's still slowly gaining weekly! Anyway I've never had a piggy lower than 900-1000g at fully grown in fact marshmallow topped 1.2kg this week
. Caramel is 10months old, 716g and hasn't gained for 6-8weeks does that mean she's reached her adult weight and if so should I be trying to chunk her up or is this an OK weight? She does feel and look skinnier than every other pig but her heft is fine
it's just curiosity at how 6 piggies who are fed the same can be such different weights
They are all fed unlimited timothy hay and Orchard grass, a tablespoon of pellets, a cup of veggies and some forage and currently to celebrate their differences here's their weights and ages:
Fluffys group--fluffy (nearly 3) 1012g, flower 10 months 796g, caramel 10months 716g
Nuggets group - - nugget (nearly 3) 1073g, marshmallow (nearly 2) 1204g, mal 10months 1053g
Nuggets group are all chunks
I do notice that they go through hay a lot quicker than fluffys group
but fluffys group get the zoomies more so this could be why they are smaller
