Weight

I forgot to weigh them last week (my fault!), but I weighed them this morning and Ernie was 473 (originally 394) and Bert was 570 (originally 409). I haven’t weighed them in about two weeks until today and I was just wondering if that a lot of weight to put on over two weeks? Bare in mind they did eat their morning pellets before I weighed them. They get a tea cup amount of veg each everyday, two tablespoons of pellets everyday and not many treats. If I give them treats it’s either a pea flake or a piece of carrot. They seem fit and healthy as they popcorn, zoom etc but I just want to check if that is a lot. I know the average eight is 0.7-1.2kg I believe and they are only four months

Seems fine.
You can’t gauge anything by averages. Their weights are genetically determined. 1.6kg is not overweight for some piggies
