Well I've been trying to keep track of my piggies weight to make sure they're healthy and in 3 weeks my peruvian, Jinx gained 285 grams! But Fizgig, my other piggy only gained 28 grams.... Jinx originally weighed in at 650 grams and is now 935. Fizgig was 765 grams and is now 793. Is this normal or could there be something wrong with Fizgig?
 
How old are they? If they are still growing and otherwise well it may just be that Jinx has just had a bit of a growth spurt. All piggies are different shapes and sizes. Just keep an eye. Only start worrying if they start to loose weight.

Are you positive about their sex ?
Could be worth a quick trip to the vets so that Fizzgig gets a check out to make sure all is ok XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Oh yes, they are both definitely males. I think I'll keep an eye on him and weigh him more often for a little while. He's eating and drinking fine and he's very active so I'm hoping I'm just over-reacting.
 
Could someone tell me if mine are ok please?

Toffee approx 7 - 8 months 2lb 6oz
Minnie 2 and a half years 1lb 14oz(she is quite a small pig in general, shes not skinny)
Lilly (male) nearly 3 2lb 14oz
