Hi

I'm just interested in whether its possible to guess how old a piggie is by their weight.

We got our girl Betty in December and she was in a bad way, weighing 635g. She was so small and skinny and the vet guessed her age to be around 6 months. However 2.5 months on and she weighs 980g! We have another little girl who we know is 8 months and she only weighs 840g. Betty is still putting weight on very quickly and I'm just wondering if there's a guide anywhere to guessing how old a piggie is by their weight.

Obviously it doesn't really matter. Its more just out of interest :)

Louise xx
