It always amazes me the size differences between piggies. I have Rosie who is at her heaviest in a long time, but is my lightest at 850g but is still very similar sizewise to the others. Then my gingers who all top 1kg -Tia 1.1kg, Esme 1.2kg and Ruby 1.3kg.
The size difference between Ruby and Tia is huge. Here they are sat on my knee.

Does anyone else have little and large piggies? Would love to see your pigtures :)
 
Awwwwww ginger sausages x) x)
 
Ha, yes... here's 'little' Marmalade - who's actually the top dog of the pair - with his rather fatter, larger brother Mr Freddie:

(It's funny cause they eat the same but Marmalade seems to really pack out muscle and is very strong, if smaller. Whereas Mr Freddie is just a squidgy, cuddly, soft as a marshmallow, chubster.)

 
Aww cuddly girls. I always think that when Amelia Jane is next to the girls as she is so much smaller.
 
These are my teddy sisters Nia and Nerys on arrival. Nia was a girl who just couldn't sit still , but ended up running the Tribe as top sow for over three years. Nerys has never expended one calorie more than absolutely necessary in her life (usually only in order to get more than her fair share of food). Nia is still much slimmer and smaller than her litter sister.

 
Gorgeous piggies drool

I really love your teddy girls Wiebke. Which group do you have Nerys in now?
Marmalade and Freddie are so cute with their quiffs and MR Freddies tail ;)
My girls are the opposite- Ruby is the biggest and is built like a brick solid muscle whereas little Tia is a bit squidgy like her mum.
 
^Like you said, it's so interesting the way they develop and metabolise in different ways. Big or small they are all still little monkeys tho, tee hee :-)
 
My Hamish and Dougal are little and large. Hamish is around 900g and Dougal 1400g. I put the size and weight difference down to Hamish being a skinny pig.

 
^I love the way Hamish is eating the grass, but it's really all subterfuge as he's just covering his true plan which involves 'keeping his eye on you'! ;)
