My girls showing you their normal weight fluctuations!

I have seen several threads recently in which people are a little worried about whether their piggy has lost too much weight over a short time period and as I was weighing them anyway today, I decided to do a little 'experiment'.

I first weighed them at around 3PM so several hours after they had eaten their breakfast. Their weights were:

Rosie: 837g
Ruby:1226g
Esme: 1198g
Tia: 917g

I then popped them on the grass for about an hour or so whilst I thoroughly cleaned their cage and then weighed them again.

Rosie: 835g (so a loss of 2g)
Ruby: 1254g (so a gain of 28g)
Esme: 1232g (so a gain of 34g)
Tia: 929g (so a small gain of 12g)

So generally full tummies all round! It also shows the importance of weighing at the same time of day!

And a little photo of Tia!

She is so cute! That is actually their wooden house but upside down, it was easier to carry her and Ruby back to the hutch in it! She loves leaping through that hole, I'm sure someday soon she is gonna get her bottom stuck

She's a bit of a babe, and poses so nicely! Out of all 4 piggies she is certainly the easiest to photograph. Rosie is most difficult due to her white hair.
