Just for a bit of fun I thought I'd ask who's your heaviest and lightest piggy? My heaviest is my soon to be 5 year old boar, as of yesterday's weigh in he is 1420g, my lightest is my 7 month old boar at 1138g; though he's chunking out quite quickly now he's done all of his growing in length :)
 
ive Jacob a chocalate himi rescue,he is solid weights 1.5 kgs and a year old.got a 11 week old satin himi she weights 420 grams and is a live wire.:lol:.
 
My heaviest was Tiger; she was about 1.3 or 1.4 kg. Marmalade wasn't far behind her. Lightest Dult was Dounut; she was under a kilo and was always a little on the skinny side. Gemma was around the kilo mark but she was a smaller pig in general and wasn't skinny for her size.

I have three 6 month olds at the moment who are all tiny! The biggest is just over 600g and the smallest is 540g ish (weigh in's due this afternoon) but they have time to grow a bit more!
 
Lightest is baby Zelah at 95g, heaviest is her aunty Morag at 1460g who is heavily pregnant. Although Ned isn't far off that, but he's just generally huge, my friend thought he was a ferret...
 
Tiny Nimue (at over 1 year old) and big Iola (who by then was about 3 times as heavy at ca. 1500g); Iola was putting on weight by gobbling up what Nimue couldn't eat in the last week or two of her life...

This was 3 year old Carwyn with his baby wifelet Heini last summer; they have formed an instant mutual adoration society. Carwyn weighed in at around 1300g and was nearly three times the weight of little 6 weeks old Heini! When he mounted her, he could still stand on his front legs...:D

Herbie has always been bigger than Alan. Not sure yet how they weigh in, but Herbie is large enough now that he can just stand up and pick peppers out of the bowl on the upper level of their cage whereas Alan still has to use the ramp. They're less than a year old still tho, so he'll get there.
 
My heaviest is my neutered boar Ryou at 1272g
My lighest piggie is my youngest boar at 1017 but hes getting heavier each week so I think when I weigh him tomorrow he may not be the lighest anymore but rather my female piggie Sakurai who is 1028 grams

But my other 3 are all around the same weight at 1028, 1031 and 1017
 
Heaviest is Eric at 1.2kg, lightest is Glinda at 680g (she's poorly). Martha is my biggest girl at 1.1kg, and Peri is the smallest healthy girl at 883g
 
Panda used to be huge - 1.5 kg. When I took him piggy dating Erica said he was rather fat and would find it easier to move around if he lost some weight. Since he has been in with the girls (and they are keeping him very active!) he has lost about 250g and looks a lot better. I cut his claws on Sunday and he was certainly fighting fit then :)
Tufty is the smallest of our three, at just over 1 kg. Geraldine weighs about 20g more than Panda now so she is my biggest currently.
I once had a pig who weighed 1600g at his heaviest.
 
Currently my heaviest is Ernie at around 1350kg and the lightest is Wilbur at only 970kg but he is an old lumpy boy now bless him ..

This thread made me think of Fuzzy @gogoguineas :) He was a huge boy....

My 2 sheepy boys are both currently around the 1180g mark and we have stopped weighing H as he's in the twilight days and weeks of his life and it's no longer useful. He's less than a kilo now but used to be around 1540g...

In the past we have had a full range (all boars) from dinky Donald at around 850g fully grown to H at his full weight but most around the 1100-1250g mark.
 
Oh course lol big 'ol fuzzy was nearly 1800kg! Then we changed his food to help curb the onset of diabetes and he lived the rest of his days around 1450kg and it get help him to lose a little in his situation, bless his big fuzzy butt!
I'm sorry to hear H isn't his best @MerryPip , is he getting on now or has he been poorly? Bless him!

Fuzzy was the dude! H is unfortunatly at the end of his time with us. He's got cancer somewhere in his tummy and has been battling hard but isn't going to cope much longer :(
 
Oh no I'm so sorry :( I'm sure you'll look after him and know when it's his time.
Wilbur has a lump that's either cancer or something to do with his thyroid but as he's 6 we're leaving him be, he's very happy, just a bit dinky!
 
Biggest piggy - Athos. On a 'fat day' he comes very close to 1.6kg... whopper. Usually weighs in around 1540gm, so he's no shrinking violet! Smallest (adult) piggy would be Sherbet who weighs in at a teeny 850g. :)

That's our plan exactly. H is over 5 now and it was in an inoperable spot so we've just gone for TLC...

Love hearing there are so many big chunky lovely piggies out there!
