How fast should young pigs put on weight? Both our little ones seem happy and are very active, eat/drink/poop constantly. They're about to hit 3months old and have been gainning about 1oz a week does that sound right? The male is 12oz and the female is 13oz.

My pigs would sometimes gain 3-4 ounces in a week. There's no set amount to gain at their age, so as long as their active and happy all is well basically.

My 2 lil ones are 10 weeks and have been putting on up to 3-4oz a week. I was wondering if this was normal but it sounds as if it could be.
