I weighed my little 5 week old boar today and he's come in at approx 420g. Is this about the right weight for his age? He's got a right little podgey tummy on him at the moment, and he's eating everything we offer him :)
 
I'm not sure to be honest as I'm not experienced with youngsters, but sounds about right. As long as you can't feel his ribs, spine and hips I wouldn't worry too much.
 
Yes, that sounds a good weight for a 5 week old. Dont get het up on exact weights though, all pigs are different and if he is gaining well, eating well and doesnt look overly thin/unweight dont worry. Just continue to weigh on a weekly bases.
