Hi there,
My guinea pig George is a big boy! I took him to the vet before christmas because I was worried that I was over feeding him. He thought I was worrying about nothing.
He seems to be expanding all the time. I wondered if you know what the ideal weight is for my George. He is about 9 months old. He eats a crammed full hay rack of herbage hay every day and i'm sure if I kept topping it up he would eat all day long. He has a cereal sized bowl full of different assorted veg high in vit c as well. He also has extra veg every day when he has his cuddles on my knee.
He also has a small bowl of the burgess excell guinea pig food what the vet recommended. However, he only seems to pick at this and tends just to enjoy his hay and veg. Do you also think that his food is important? cos I do put his vit c drops onto his food and I worry if he only picks at it. Should I try a different food? If so do you recommend anything for fussy guinea pigs? :)
 
I dont think a piggy can be overweight really, alsong as he gets out to exercise :) can you weigh him? Most piggys are around 2or 3lb but there are pigs up to 4lb! I'm sure he is ok, especially if the vet agrees :) x
 
My boys are pretty big Twinks is fast approaching the 3lb mark I think Sunshine will stay around 2 and a half lb. What you are giving him sounds great, just what he needs. I would weigh him as Emma said and see exactly what he weighs. :)
 
Most digital scales have a unit button for that :) so you can weigh in lb, oz, grams and kilos i think :) but you can use a converter on your phone or something if you only have grams scales!
 
i have the most basic cheapo kitchen scales ever ;D its one with a bowl on that you way food in. i just put the piggies in it to weigh them ;D
 
lol! If you've got a mobile have a look on there for a converter or i could do it for you lol? x
 
ah i found a converter!

I'm borrowing a phone as mine is being repaired so am useless at using it lol. will weigh all mine now
 
bob is just under 3lb (1350g)

merlin- approx 14 weeks old is still at 600g :-\ 2 weeks after i last weighed him.

I'm a little concerned as hes not growing much, hes not gained any weight, and he doesnt really eat much. he is picky with veg and never eats all his veg even though i give him a lot less than bob and munchie, and i hardly see him eat any dry food :-\

I'm hoping the lack of weight gain is due to his poorly stomach last week
