What is an average weight for a sow?

Mine are about 8 months old -

Floss is 958g
Jewel is 924g

I have been told these weights are fine for their age but will they get any bigger?
 
I don't think they're fully grown at that age, mine were about that weight back then, now Daisy is over a kilo, she is 10 months old now :)
 
At 8 months old they'll have done most of their growing but they're far from finished! I believe a piggy can keep growing up to about 14 months old, although by 8 months old their growing will have slowed down significantly. My sows range from 800g-1300g and I've got everything in the middle! Most of my sows are over a kilo though, with my younger ladies still growing slowly.
 
They seem normal weights. Every piggy is different so i wouldn't worry!
I weighed my four just before and they are:

Esme (about a year old) 1243g
Rosie (6years) 760g
Tia(about 10 weeks) 683g
Ruby (about 6 months) 1085g

hope that givea you an idea x

Yes that's great thanks.

The weights of all your pigs compared to their ages (if that makes sense) are all so different - it proves that guinea pigs really are all different :))
 
They are not fully grown yet, they can continue to grow until they are around 18 months. Average i would say is 900-1100g for a sow, but plenty are bigger too.
