Depends on the age of your pig and the build, some pigs are just smaller than others. Is he or she full grown? All of my pigs have been in the range of around 950g - 1200g

Ok.
My girls are very young 14 weeks. I had them weighed at their health check around 3 weeks ago but I can’t remeber what they weighed for the life of me. I should have wrote it down. I plan on weighing them once a month to track their weight but since I don’t remeber what they last were I have no idea what’s healthy or not.

It’s better to weigh weekly rather than monthly. That way, you can spot any problems much sooner. The majority of their diet is hay so you cannot tell whether they are eating enough which makes weekly weighing at the same time each week the only way to tell.
