Plutonian living in Surrey.
He's gained 50 grams, gone from a good steady 1100g to 1150! I'll keep an eye on him but the thing is, I checked around his ribcage and the ribs aren't as palpable as they used to be. I think he may be snacking on Duncan's salad so I'll supervise them for all mealtimes. Pellets may need cutting down but they haven't been having more than usual. Oh and they have tons of room to run around, enough room for another guinea pig to live comfortably. So anyway, I just need some advice really.

If Duncan is a normally sized guinea pig, then his weight is is perfectly normal and nothing whatsoever to worry about. ;)
