could you let me have your boars weight when he was 4 months old if you have it please?

just want to know if my little one is normalish :)

thanks
 
well i cant remember jake and hector and Lentil was over 4 months when I got him. Atm Bounty is coming up for 5 months and he is nearly 900g :o hes gonna be a big lad!
 
thanks :) at the minute he's looking to be small for his age
 
I haven't had a 4 month old, but Roy at 6 months was just over 700g, and two I weighed last week for someone else that were approx 12 weeks were 450g (runt) and 560g.
 
I think Archie was around 700g. He's about 850g now at 6 months, but I haven't weighed him lately (really must get round to that, need to replace my broken scales!).

Blimey, that does seem quite small. Archie was 450g at 8 weeks and he was really skinny then. I've just read back on my old thread and was told there that it's not so much the weight that matters, but the condition. Is your boy skinny, can you feel his ribs and hip bones? If not then he's ok, but if you can he needs fattening up a bit :))

i'm wondering if he was the runt of the litter. i'm trying to feed him up but for the 1st week i had him he wouldnt eat any veg now he only eats certain things he's not helpful but loves hay and nuggets. i shall keep trying ribs no but can feel his hips but not lots if that makes sense!
 
Sweep was 670g and Fudge was 766g. We didn't have Dillon until he was 5 months old. I'm sure any mini pig we've had or fostered has been at least 600g by 16 weeks old although I think with mine they put most of their weight on at around 6 months old
 
Not sure how much my piggies weighed at 4 months old but my 6 and half week baby boy weighs around 250grammes I think he's a little on the small side but he loves his grub:) he's fit, healthy and active.
 
Bounty is def going to be a big boy x) and Jake and Lentil are big boys too x) it was only poor Hector who wasnt :(
 
My Milo was the only one who survived in his litter, all the other babies died. I don't have my weights here just now but he was born in rescue, so had a good diet.

I'm pretty sure at 6months he weighed roughly 600 grams he's really small, he's over a year now and weighs 838grams.
 
I think generally most of my boys are around the kilo mark, but they're all adults, except for William whose just lost a bit of weight, I think it's more to do with the fact that he now has 2 wives to keep him busy though. He's gone down from around 850 to 820, He's about 9 months old.

It's good though, he's brought Lazy Daisy's weight down too.:)) She was weighing in at 1310g, and is now down to 1270g, she keeps telling me she's not fat just big boned.rolleyes
