Healthy Guinea Pig Weight

[TJ Knight]

hi I just weighed my 2 boars for the first time and wondered if it's a healthy weight there both around 8 months old
one weighs 1180g and the other weighs 1320g

Between 800 and 1200g is the usual, but many piggies are bigger than this. It's really about 'heft'. You should be able to feel their ribs, but not every rib. If you can't feel any ribs, they may be a bit chunky. You'll get all the information you need here The Importance Of Weighing - Ideal Weight / Overweight / Underweight and here Long Term Balanced General And Special Needs Guinea Pig Diets
