Is 670 grams too light for a skinny pig ?
Thanks.

It depends on several things -- how old the pig is and how big a frame it has are two important considerations. Pigs are not more the same size and weight than people are, so while 670 may be fine for one pig, it may be really skinny for another one.

Taken as a whole, skinny pigs do tend to weigh less than haired pigs. They have faster metabolisms, which helps them keep warm, but also burns off more calories than a haired pig.

There's some information here on whether your pig is the right weight: https://www.guinealynx.info/weigh.html
