New Scales Very Revealing!

[Reenie]

I'm a monster but the two smouts bully me little Dude is bigger than me but I'm fierce I'm all growd up and bigger than Chicco now! Finally got a decent set of scales. Are my boys small for their age? Groucho (biggest) and Chicco (smallest) are about 6 months and Little Dude is about 5 months.

They can keep growing until they're about a year old, so although they are quite pettit for adult pigs , they're not quite there yet! As along as they don't feel skinny and their weight gain goes in the right direction, I certainly wouldn't be worried.

I weight mine every week and they are now 2 years old. Their weights stabilised at about 19 months old; smallest is around 850g, then two at around 900/920g

I am quite envious of your scales but know my girls wouldn't sit in it !

Thanks @Guineapigfeet I was quite surprised when I realised that Little Dude is heavier than Chicco - he was so tiny when I got them. They're certainly not bony, and they love their grub - I just wasn't sure when they get to full size, but it sounds like there's a bit of growing left to be done.

I love your scales too! Do they actually light up to enable you to see the readings?

Yes @Janice C . When they're off, they're dark. My mum got them for me for my birthday. They were about £20, but reduced from about £50. I love them, and I think they look smart sitting out next to the cage and their treat jars. Surprisingly the piggies don't seem to mind sitting in them.

They are cuties! Having a good set of scales is a must
