Just a quick question

[RicoandRocky]

I have 4 guinea pigs 2 are a year and nine months and 2 who are coming up to just 14 months but the 2 older ones are a good bit bigger I understand guinea pigs stop growing at 14 months old and I'm wondering if theres any chance the 2 younger could just be smaller in size I have not idea what breed any of them are pretty sure there all cross breeds (top is 1 of the older boys bottom is 1 of the younger boys)

Piggies can vary tremendously in size - length and height and heft and weight. I’ve had some absolutely huge piggies and some tiny ones. You can’t tell until they are fully grown.

I have 4 piggies varying in size from 1350g down to 1150g.
The biggest is my boar who is only just a year old - I think he’s part Capybara

My Dennis is tiny only around 954g.

My rainbow piggy Grace was huge- around 1400g in adulthood, my other rainbow pig Ellie was lighter, but as you can see in this thread there was a considerable size difference! Although she was a lot older & all of mine have lost weight & heft in their senior years

Grace Is A Big Honker!

Omg wow that's some difference

Our sweet Lucy was always just under 1kg, and Oreo tipped the scales at 1.4kg.
They really do vary a lot.

They vary almost as much as humans! I’ve had girls reach nearly 1.5kg (Ok, one was a bit fat too, but the other was reeeally long!) but my current three range between 800-950g

Big black Pioden at the front is feeling a little underweight for being 1400g and little black and white Begw at the back is quite chunky despite only weighing 700g. They are both healthy adults; Pioden is now an elderly boy at 6 years old while Begw has just reached adulthood but has stopped growing a few months back.


If you want to find out more how you check whether your piggies are a good weight for their size as they go through life and how weight changes over the course of the life, then have a lool at this very interesting and practical guide here: Weight - Monitoring and Management
