Weight At 6 Months

[Redribbon]

Just weighed the boys and Stan is 2.2lb and long haired Angus is 2.4lb. They are six months old. I'm hoping it's a good weight for their age but have no idea!

Could you please weigh your boys in grams? US and UK weights differ but are called the same; this avoids any confusion and misleading advice.

Also my piggies (two sows) are 6 months old now. They have long hair; Calipso was skins&bones but she has recovered amazingly. Today she weighted 710g and Calliope 780g. Consider that their diet is pellets free.

I had trouble with reading the grams on the scale as the pigs really didn't like being weighed!
So converter says Stan is 998 grams and Angus is 1089 grams.

it's a normal and very good weight, I think! and boys weigh more than sows. Don't make them fat in the future, though; be careful with dried food...
Also my piggies did not like to be weighed; then I changed the scales. The old one had a bowl and they did not want to be put inside it; this new one is flat and has no bowl. I put the piggies on it and they freeze! they don't look at ease, but they are still and give me the time for reading the display!

They are good weights, my girls only reached that at a year old!

Thanks guys. Good tip about the scales. I do think 50% of Angus's weight is hair!
