Is there an average weight for an approx 10 week old pig?

I'm not sure about weight of babies but in the breeding section there is a very useful thread all about babies growth etc.. hope it helps!

It varies a lot from pig to pig.
I found that my girls grew faster than my boy, but he was castrated very young and I think that makes a difference.
However now at over a year they have all settled out at their adult weights - some just got there a little faster than the others.
What weights are your piggies and where did you get the from?

Hi! Weights can differ a lot. If you are worried about one of the piggies, please feed veg and pellets 2-3 times a day in portions that can be eaten in one go in a bowl each per piggy. Placve the bowls at least a body length apart and remove them after the meal. This minimises food hogging.
Veg and pellets only make about 20% of the daily food intake. In the meantime, your piggies won't go hungry as they'll be eating the 80% of hay that is essential for gut health and a long life. Make sure that the hay is truly plentiful and unlimited, and if necessary, offer it in two different places, so the underpiggy cannot be kept away.

He weighs about 400g so i think its more that the other one is large rather than this one is small!

The weight is not so low that you need to worry. Just follow the tips I have given you.
