Ive done the weekly weighing again and the two baby boys Mansell and Baylee have put on 50g's so there now 450g but Jolene has stayed the same. Is this right? there around 8 weeks old. She is now the same weight as her brothers because last week she put on 100g whereas they only put on 50g. But shouldn't she keep growing?
any advice would be great.
I have seen her eating her veg btw so know shes ok really
 
Some pigs don't gain weight every week. My littlest pig put on an ounce every other week almost all the time she was growing. Some pigs put on a lot one week and nothing the next, which sounds as if it is the case there. As long as she's not stopped growing altogether (i.e. she's not gained anything for a few weeks) and she is eating well, I wouldn't be worried. :)
