Apologies if I have already posted this.
My little dinky boy is growing big, when he first came to us he weighed around 750g but his weight actually dropped a little (700g) as he didn't eat a massive amount and spent most of his time burning off anything he ate by zooming and popcorning.
Since he has been in with the girls he has steadily put on weight, although he is still diddy he has a nice chunky bum :D

Here he is with Ruby 12th December (being held as he wasn't 6 weeks post op)

He was thought to be around 5-6 months when we got him at the start of December. So must be about 7-8 months now.

He can't have been that old as he was bought as a baby for another boar, but they didn't get on. I assume he took the brunt of it, he has little nicks out of his ears and his bonding behaviour with the girls was as if he was terrified of them hurting him.
 
Oh yes, Edward is definitely getting pear shaped, the prefect figure for a piggy. He looks to have a long way to go to catch up with Ruby though. Mind you she seems large for a girl! She weighs as much as each of my fully grown boys.

She is a chunky thing, but very gentle and loving. She did used to weigh about 1350g last year, but after a few gassy episodes she lost the weight and has never fully regained it! The gingers are all big pigs, Tia is the smallest at 1180g, Esme was around 1250g aswell.
 
He has come on in leaps and bounds, he is obviously very happy and enjoying life with his beautiful wifeypigs
 
You've got a lovely trio of piggies. You're very lucky to have a nice bonded group.
