Willow 1.033 kg
Pixel 501 g (approx 14 weeks old)


As you can see, Pixel is growing at a steady rate and has almost doubled in size.

I was getting a little worried about Willow as her weight had been dropping consistently since we started to weigh her. Although never dropping anywhere near danger levels (and she is always nice and cuddly x) ) I'm more than pleased that she's back up to 1.03 kg

Pippa's weight seems pretty consistent with a maximum variation of only 35g :)
 
Did anybodies guinea pigs (who live outside in a shed or whatever) find that their pigs weight's went down a lil bit...say about 25g-50g or so? Mine are starting to put more on now its getting warmer. I'm just curious.
 
I kinda put Willow's weight drop to her possibly being moved indoors? Or it my have been something to do with Pixel being introduced (they get along just fine though) I dunno :{

I guess it would make sense that may use up some body fat keeping warmer whilst it's been cold though? Even if they've got mountains of hay, I suppose it's kinda natural
 
This is my first post here too so I'm gonna back date aswell. Both my pigs are about 6 and a half months old

Gloria Moe

04/01/2010 645 590
12/01/2010 670 620
20/01/2010 708 654
26/01/2010 722 684

Moe has always been a little smaller than Gloria, but she gets plenty to eat I assure you.
 
30/11 weigh in

Tiger 1152gms
Amy 1362gms

Today :

Tiger 1177gms
Amy 1327gms

Think they have pretty much stopped growing now as they are both over 1

Will do Tia & George later in week
 
I just weighed Fred and I maybe a tad concerned.

14-12-09 876 grams
21-12-09 917 grams
29-12-09 903 grams
04-01-10 902 grams
11-01-10 919 grams
18-01-10 951 grams
31-01-10 908 grams (fortnight)

All the other weigh in's are weekly, is 33grams a big weight loss in a fortnight?
 
Ok just weighed my piglets and they are gaining some serious weight (apart from Phoenix who's weight seems to be the same every time I weight him, and the new rescue Izzy as I don't know her previous weight record). Here's last times weigh in's..

27-01-10
Sway 950g
Phoenix 800g
Bea 800g
Buddy 530g
Star 400g
Buster 525g
Beth 375g
Johnny 400g
Betty 425g

03-02-10
Sway 1000g
Phoenix 800g
Bea 810g
Buddy 600g
Star 450g
Buster 600g
Beth 400g
Johnny 450g
Betty 475g
Izzy 775g

Their weights were up and down (apart from P-Man's) over the icey cold weather so I'm glad they are all starting to put it on. Sway looks pregnant the poor girl! I actually for a moment worried that my other half might have accidently put the poor old girl in with one of the fella's by mistake so phoned him to check. Luckily...she's just a porker!
 
Ok well the girlies are nearly 11months old......how time flies x)x)

Today they had a bath and another hair cut for Velvet, no she was NOT impressed rolleyes sounded like i was doing something awful to her as usual :...:)) but she'll understand when the hot weather comes again next week!

Velvet - 1035g
Onyx - 1020g

Guinea Lynx gives the average weight for an adult male as between 900-1200g so he's right in the middle at the moment ;) I'd just keep your eye on him to make sure it doesn't keep dropping down ;)



My girls have had a bath and been weighed today too...

Previous couple of weights added too..

Pippa, as always, is pretty consistent

Ok so Amy seemed massive to me today so I weighed her:

last time 31/1 she weighed 1327gms

Today she weighed a whopping 1440 gms! I am gob smacked I can't believe she is so heavy I am getting more and more convinced she is eating Tiger's share of food :(
 
A bit late with their 1st birthday weigh in as scales were mallethead not working!

So here are the darlings at 1 year old:

Velvet - 1060g
Onyx - 1050g

well done my little darlings i'm such a proud mummy xoxoxoxo
 
I bought my first set of scales today to weigh my 3 piggies and here are the results!
Ernie (2 years old): 1311g
My (6 months): 706g
Stanley (10 weeks): 377g

Stanley, looks like he will be a chubby pig :))!

He does seem to like his food! Is that quite a lot for a guinea pig of his age? Although i'm not fussed at the moment as just glad he's eating..he's a bit poorly with a slight chest infection. Is there a link to roughly how much guinea pigs should weigh at certain ages?
I'm trying to work out the correct amount of fruit and veg to be giving him and my other 2, but getting confused with the info on calcium and phosperus ratios! @)

Latest weigh in: 08/04/2010

Ernie (2 years): 1276g
Monty (6 months, 3 weeks): 759g
Stanley (13 weeks): 506g
 
Just weighed my 3 - cant find my previous weight list but will dig it out later to compare.

Used it on pounds/ounce setting so dont know grams (maths was never my strong point)

Monty is 2lb 3 oz - lost a little bit but is 5years old so expect him to lose a few oz.

Melvin and Parsnip are right porkers - Melvin is 2lb 15 and Parsnip tips the scales at 3lbs hererolleyes they are getting their excercise and are having run time but they are greedy pigs and lazy.

Not an expert on weights but they are the biggest piggies Ive had - I'm careful with their dry food and they are fed greens twice a day.

Think I need to get them moving round a bit more!
