I was just wondering if there was a 'reccomended' weight, approxiamately, that a 12 week old boar should be?

I haven't previously been in the habit of weighing my pigs, unless they've been ill butsince being on here I can see it's a good habit to get in to.We got Tyler at 6 weeks as a companion for Fuzzy who is nearly 2 after his pal died and Tyler was tiny. I just wanted an idea of what kind of weight range he should be hitting by now to check he's gaining sufficiently.

Any suggestions? :)
 
ps- just weighed Tyler and his is about 600g and Fuzzy is nearly 2 and he weighs 1.6kg!
 
i believe they can vary greatly in weight...i think as long as theyre gaining and are healthy it doesnt really matter its only if theyre losing that you need to worry.

my healthy two 9 month old boys weigh 1kg and 1.2kg

my poorly boy of the same age only weighs 800g at the mo.
