Overweight?

[RingoandOlly]

So my boys turned 1 nine days ago! I read that they will keep growing until they are 14 months old and Olly is already 1290g and gaining weight, should I be worried? His brother, Ringo, has always been smaller and is 1070g, also gaining. They're Abyssinian/American short hair crosses. Should I be worried that Olly is overweight?

maybe this chart and the picture can help you... It is called the pig size-o-meter and looks interesting.

I wouldn't worry @RingoandOlly .1290g is a normal round piggy shape.

What you need to worry about more is the heft of the pig.
