Is This Normal?

[soo's piggies]

My two piggies are almost four months old and are gaining weight , I weigh them every week but my heaviest pig is now lighter than his brother as he only gained 18 g whereas other gained 50 g they usually gain the same every week . My concern is although he has gained weight it's a lot less than usual , does this sound normal?

I would monitor him closely, maybe weight him every day or every other day to check his progress. It does sound a little odd but piggies are all different so he may just be a little smaller than his buddy....

Weight loss, or in the case of little ones, not growing well can be an indicator of illness though so if it continues I'd get him checked out with a knowledgeable vet.....
