Guinea Pig Weight

[PippinTook1]

So brought my guinea pig to the vet today, they listed his weight as:

(Weight: 0.9 kg -7m)

Does anyone know what this means? I know that 0.9 kg is like 1.9 pounds. I just don't understand what 7m is supposed to mean in this context? Of course, I noticed after I left the vet and I was home.

Thank you!

*And he is perfectly healthy and eating just fine, I just don't understand the whole weight thing*

Is it his age? Can’t think what else it would be.

Maybe the 7m can mean his length? If you really want to know you should ask your vet.

Your boy is 900g at 7 months of age. Which is a perfectly fine weight!

PS: We also use grams on this forum to avoid confusion and misleading advice between imperial and metric pounds, which differ crucially in the weight range of guinea pigs.

Omg that makes perfect sense! Thank you!
