One month ago Abby and Jemma were 600g they are now 800g WOW is that too fast a weight gain?

They get exercise in a large area daily

I feed them the same. They are 4 months old now
 
dont quote me but i think thats probably about right, dont they reckon about 50g a week whilst they are young and growing?

ps great run area x
 
thank you - they run around like crazy chasing each other its so cute to watch AND the best thing is Piggy taught them how to toilet on the newspaper and they do it second nature now

I sometimes sit on the floor in the middle and they run around me and sometimes use me as a climbing frame :(|)

they popcorn and hop and skip too espec Abby (whiter one)

This half of the lounge is theirs :))
 
That is on the high end of weight gain, but it is not uncommon when piggies hit a new loving home.

As they also have plenty of exercise, there is nothing to worry about! They may stop growing a bit sooner once they hit their individual ideal adult weight any time after 6 months old. I found that when my baby Telyn hit the kilo at 6 months old - she stopped growing quickly soon after that and went on at a much slower rate.

PS: they are a lovely pair!
