Hi all
Is there anything on here that would tell me how much my piggies should weigh for their age? Some sort of chart showing average weights? I just started weighing my boys but don't know what a healthy weight for their age is. There's also 100g different between them. Could there be that big a difference or do you think this suggests they're actually from separate litters and different ages?!
 
There isn't a sticky about weight because it waries so much. Adult pigs could be 900-1500g (I'm making a bit of a guess as Wiebke is away and she normally answers this question very well :(|)).

My 2 older girls are the same age (about 9 months) and their weights are 100g apart. :)

Best thing to do is weigh them weekly. Big gains or losses over a few weeks are more significant than general weight.
