putting on weight

[piglet_and_rogers_mama]

ive been weighing the boys for some time now, and i was wondering when their weights should level off. piglets roughly 7 months and weighs 1077 grams, rogers slightly younger and weighs 1020 grams, and george is the youngest (4-5 mos) and weighs in at 907 grams. when will their weight stabilize? and what is a healthy weight for boars? thanks

The good news: your piggies are all a good weight.

Piggies are very individual. Depending on their start in life and how much you feed, weight gain starts to slow down between 6-9 months old and then level off. The full body size should be reached between 12-15 months old; that is usually when their hormones and bodies settle as mature adults. Rexes will grow longer until they are 24 months old.

The final adult body weight can be anything between 800g-1800g; average are 900g-1400g.

Here is a list of how much (and which veg) you can feed:
