Archie only really gets fat during the spring when theres the lush spring grass growing, and if I keep him inside all day for a few days (which he HATES, goes absolutely mental). He eats lots, plenty of hay, grass, treats and veggies every day, and he gets a lot of exercise, so hes very muscular, but hes so slender. Everyone elses guinea pigs look huge compared to him. He is normal healthy weight (1200g something) but I think he just does so much that he never collects any fat.
Should I give him more fatty treats?
 
okay, thank you for the input :)
 
I agree he's a healthy weight! Far better than overweight :D My biggest pig is a little over a kilo. One of my piggies is super small at 850 grams (1 year & 9 months) as she was the runt of her litter, but she's perfectly happy and healthy! Eats like a horse too!
