Hi all
I have bought a set of electronic scales so that I can keep on eye on the piglets' weight.
For future reference:
What is considered an acceptable fluctuation in weight and what is considered a cause for concern?
Thanks.

P.s Here's a quick shot of Daphne at breakfast time, after being given the all clear for her eye injury treatment. Phew.

She is gorgeous. I would say 30g-40g is a reasonable fluctuation and 100g loss would mean a trip to the vets. Hope this helps.
 
I would say the same but if it is up and down. If it is loosing this amount each week it would be a concern
