BooBoo Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Can I ask how heavy a guinea pig should be? My guinea pigs are female and 12 months old. They weigh 950g - 1kg each They have a large indoor cage and outdoor run and don't eat unsuitable food (e.g. guinea pig treats, toast etc). They also do not eat more than a RDA of guinea pig nuggets.....but they just seem very big!! (and cuddley and sweet ) What do your guinea pigs weigh???

Scooby Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Last time I was at the vets with one of my boys they weighed him and said he weighed 1kg. , but the vet said that's about average. My boys are 15 months old, they do look a bit cuddly but we love them anyway Been trying to post pics for a while but for some reason I can't get photobucket to re-size them to fit. Will have another go when I've got a spare few minutes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacman Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Up to 1.2 Kg is normal for an adult pig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavysqueak Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I had a male who was quite small until he had a nasty virus, which it took 4 months of TLC for him to get over. In that time his weight had gone down to such a point that I was wondering if it was fair to keep him struggling on.... Then my last ditch attempt worked & he managed to get better - & then he ballooned! He was huge - the biggest male I've ever had, but he was really solid. So because he wasn't flabby I let him carry on as normal - he lived to be six and a half! I have two quite large females now - but they do have fluffy fur which makes it look even worse than it is!
