Hi! There is no average weight because of the enormous variation in size, but you can test whether your specific sow is a good weight for her current size by gently feeling around her ribcage. In a healthy guinea pig, you should just be able to feel the ribs. If you can feel all ribs, your sow is underweight and if you can't feel any ribs at all, she is overweight. Although at the young age your girl is at, any extra is going towards growth and not fat reserves at the moment.
As long as your mum is fine in herself, she is OK whatever the individual weight and size.
Please keep any questions and worries related to your pregnant sow to your dedicated and spefically monitored pregnancy thread in the pregnancy section to prevent confusion and confusing answers across the forum.
We operate differently to social media with a short question and a quick answer in that we have detailed information guides at the top of our various Care sections and prefer to keep topics together. You can set a watch with notifications on your pregnancy thread as described in there. Thank you!
