It's been a while since I've wieghed the girls, so I thought I'd better catch up..

Last weighed in June...

06/06/10
Pippa 1.242 kg
Willow 1.087 kg
Pixel 960 g


01/08/10
Pippa 1.269 kg
Willow 1.080 kg
Pixel 1.080 kg
Little Man 862 g

Little Man was weighed last Sunday and has already put on 50g xx>>>

Can't believe that Pixel now weighs the same as Willow :o She's still my Little Mouse though :)

Pippa is just a greedy guts I think, as she's really active too rolleyes
 
Finally been able to weigh ours, except Amelie as she will not keep still long enough for us to scoop her up. Bigger piggies had a bath today so weighed them first.

Gertie: 1.409 kg
Johnny: 1.435 kg
Jessica: 386g (awwww)

Will put Amelie on when she co-operates lol.
 
Been a bit lax with weigh ins lately so I'll post todays and the last one which was July

25/7/10
Sam 1316g
Sandy 1130g
Sookie 975g
Athena 1040g
Pepper 1133g

9/8/10
Sam 1368g
Sandy 1130g
Sookie 1009g
Athena 1040g
Pepper 1174g

Happy with all the weights, especially Sookie's and Athena's as both have always been on the lower side. Surprised Pepper is the heaviest out of the girls though as she always looks small to me! And Sam just seems to be getting more and more chunky x)
 
Just weighed my 3

Monty - 1040g

Melvin - 1315g

Parsnip - 1395g

Monty had put a little on which is good. Melvin and Parsnip had lost a little which is also good as they had been putting weight on and are not active piggies really.
 
I was wondering if people with new babies (say up to a year old?) could put the age next to the weight so us novices could compare the weights? Or is it different for different breeds of guinea pigs?
 
Schoffers. D.O.B-May 08

I record the weight on my calender but it never hurts to have a back up! keeping close eye on weight these days ....

previously 09/10- 1000g-1100g
15th June - 1st GA dental - and so the problems begin! lol
16th June - 900g (maintained throughout june and beginning of July)
18th july 2010 - 850g
20th July - 800g (weighed at vets for 2nd GA and teeth rasping)
23th July - 900g (think theres something dodgy there... maybe my scales are wrong!)
8th Aug - 880-900g
12th Aug - 880g
16th Aug - 880g
 
Just weighed Amelie and she is 465g. That's a gain of 100g in almost 10 days, does that seem about right?
 
Well first weigh in at 10 weeks old is:

Tinka is only 400g
Belle is 440g.
This seems quite low compared to others, is this weight ok?

20th Aug - 840g... :S -40g is this normal? or should i start thinking about teeth again?
 
Well it was the piggies weekly nail trim and weight check.

Sam 1425g
Sandy 1175g
Sookie 1022g
Athena 1000g
Pepper 1196g

So thrilled Athena's put on weight, it's getting back up to where it used to be now :) Though Sam just seems to be getting bigger and bigger now!

2nd weigh in 9 days later at 11 weeks

Tinka - 460g
Belle - 490g

Not sure whether my scales are exact, thinking of getting some new digital ones.If they are right then Tinka is catching up with her sister.
 
Wooo they have caught up with my 2 little ones. Sounds like they are growing nicely. I should weigh mine again really.
 
Managed to weigh the girls today but not Johnny yet, he is just too quick.

Amelie: 590g
Jessica: 615g
Gertie: 1453g
 
Melvin 1270g

Parsnip - 1320g

Monty - 986g

All 3 have lost weight - am glad Melvin and Parsnip have as Parsnip is a lazy boy and does not always lift up when he goes so wets himself, if he becomes a more trimline piggy this might help that.

Monty seems to go through phases of losing a bit and is in a feeling/looking skinny phase at the mo, yet still eating lots, just a sign of older age I guess.

Do these weights seem ok?

Guinea Lynx has a useful page on "average" weights http://www.guinealynx.info/weigh.html

I'd say they're ok though, they're likely to continue gaining weight for a while now. My girls weights range from around 1000g - 1200g. They're due a weigh in today so I'll update in a bit with what they weigh today
 
Ok the weekly weigh in and nail trim has been done.

Sam 1450g ( +25g )
Sookie 1030g ( +8g )
Sandy 1152g ( -23g )
Athena 1027g ( +27g )
Pepper 1218g ( +22g )

And our two little rescue guys

Woody 810g
Max 1052g
 
weighed my rabble today

Ruby - 443g (7 1/2 weeks old)

Lucy - 790g (4 months old)

Rose - 1223g (approx 3 years old)

Martha - 1080g (approx 3 years old)

Patch - 1232g (approx 5 years old)

Frisky - 931g (approx 5 years old, has always weighed between 900/950g)

J.J - 1300g (3 in december)


I was shocked by J.J's weight, hes not fat, he's just a long piggie!
 
My first weigh in of Stan & Oscar:

Stan is 620g approx age 16 weeks

Oscar is 255g approx age 7 weeks

Just for the record Mums Bennybenbo weighs 1456g and is approx 18 months


Hope these sound good? :{
 
Saturday's weigh in will weigh them again this weekend

Fudge 5 months old 964g (+41g)
Dillon 6 months old 1004g (+39g)
Sweep 7 months old 1136g (+61g)
Daisy 12 months old 1104g (+12g)
Harley 6 weeks old 403g (first weigh)
Zeb 6 weeks old 364g (first weigh)
Flynn 6 weeks old 375g (first weigh)

I think Dill and Sweep have been having a competition the last couple of weeks to see who can put the most weight on although Fudge has done his best to catch up! I could use them as dumbells at this rate :))
 
I weighed Basil and Snowball yesterday for the first time.

Basil is 568g, he is approx 14/15 weeks old
Snowball is 528g, he is approx 12/13 weeks old

Sandra
 
Harley - 449g (+46g)
Zeb - 416g (+52g)
Flynn - 426g (+51g)
Dillon - 960g (-44g) He did have the snip Monday so I was expecting some weight loss
Fudge - 953g (-11g)
Sweep - 1131g (-5g)
Daisy - 1112g (+8g)
 
OMG!
what an ordeal I've just had trying to weigh my boys!

Jacob was first on the scales and weighed in at 560g

Whilst he was attempting to escape Edward made a break for it and ended up racing along the worktop and ended up in my bread bin!

As I attempted to rescue him Jacob took his chance and dashed off in the opposite direction!

Edward eventually weighed in between 500-600g (wouldnt stay put so couldnt get a more accurate reading unfortunately :( )


Phew both are now safely back in their playpen thank goodness!

Help needed next time me thinks
