Small guinea pig

I know you can get "supersized" guineas, so I guess it's not illogical to think you get get a "mini guinea"!
 
It's just that Ellie is a lot smaller than Eliza :)). I'm not sure if she will always be this small as I assume she is fully grown
 
I know what you mean. Willa has stopped growing at just 1lb 12oz, she's about the same size physically as Bree (2lb) who is quite petite. The funny thing is, everything has grown with Willa except her nose and mouth! Her teeth are the tiniest I have seen on an adult pig. And then we have Frankie who has the most enormous nose, mouth and teeth I have known. :))
 
Yep Eccles is 2lb fully grown Amber is 1lb 12oz fully grown. I have some chunks as well. Like us they are all different, no need to be alarmed. Maybe their metabolic rates are high. I know Amber never stops running around! :(|)
 
I think it also plays a part how much and what kind of food they've had as babies and growing up.

Some pigs will always be smaller. I've just got two sisters (10 months), and one looks about at least a month or two older - she's a lot bigger and more developed. But also a lot less active and inquisitive than the smaller sister, who doesn't seem to eat much less, by the way.
 
my tiger seems quite small but think that is the way he is he is kinda long but not very wide and he eats as much as he likes which is quite a bit and can finish off a bowl of veg or pile of grass in no time :))
 
I think piggies are like people - different sizes and builds are all normal!

I have Holly who is a shade under 3lb and Honey who is half her size in the same group but both of them are happy healthy cheeky girls so I don't worry!
