Well Oreo was snuggling with me today and yes she is now 7 months old and I think still growing. But I have noticed that when she had her growth spurt at 5 1/2 months she had a small head but an adult sized body.... Its cute and funny to see but I am wondering if some guinea pigs are kinda wacked out because of these growth spurts, something like us?

I dunno what anyone else thinks (I'm sure Glynis will agree!) but that sounds super cute....photos! x)
 
All mammal babies have comparatively bigger heads in proportion to their body, but the size of a head can also vary between breeds. Rex related breeds tend to have bigger ones than aby based breeds.
 
She has a smaller head and a bigger body.... I think it could be just hair but I dunno. She is adorable though. Shes fully grown.... Its just her head that might need catching up lol
