I'm just wondering how much weightloss is cause for concern? When I brought Hippo to the vet in October he weighed around 980 grams. Two weeks later he weighed in at his heaviest, 1010 grams. I weighed him today after visiting my mom's for 10 days (I brought the pigs, they have a big cage there), and he is down to 920 grams! I accidentally left their pellets in my apartment so I didn't give any pellets during those 10 days, so I thought maybe that was the cause, but Michael hasn't lost any weight. Hippo seems healthy, he is eating his veggies and pellets fine, and does zoomies around the cage every morning. Should I be concerned about this 90 gram weightloss? If not, for future reference, how much weightloss should I be looking out for? And yes, I'm weighing him at the same time of day.
