Hi

Can anyone recommend some good electronic weighing scales for my piggies please?

Links or pics would be great!

Thanks xx
 
I have a digital food scale that's been working great. I did have to upgrade to a larger rectangular one and put a piece of fleece over it before turning it on so it starts at zero. The smaller one was fine when they were around 660 grams but when they are grown, won't be good. One of my guinea pigs is very pregnant now and have been monitoring her very often. She is even used to it and a piece of cilantro gets her happy and settled every time. But now her little booty is falling over the back end as she's tipping 800 grams with the pregnancy so the upgrade was needed.

Can find them at any store selling kitchen scales. My regular scale won't even budge, not even with my little mama.

The one I have now but can show the one I've used very well that is much more cost effective.

At that age all of mine weighed between 600 - 700 grams.
700 grams would be fairly small for an adult pig - not unheard of, but rare.
My adults all weigh between 990 grams and 1300 grams (I am looking at you Oreo!).

Ok thanks! I’ll let you know how weigh in goes!

It said Sow 700-900
And Boar 900 - 1200 I think!

Suppose it depends on long haired etc too!

Awww Oreo 😊💕 Slimming world for you 😂🙊 xx
 
Heidi pig (smooth American) weighs 383g
Twilight pig (abyruvian) weighs 477g

Ive been told they’re approx 15weeks old
Does that sound about right? What weight gain should I be expecting to see as they grow?
