Hi,
Newbie here. We have 10 week old girls, just purchased a couple days ago. Wondering when guinea pigs reach their adult size/weight?
Thanks!

Steady weight gain usually tapers off at 9-10 months of age, and reaches a plateau somewhere around a year old. But keep in mind that they can't read the guidelines, so your mileage may vary.

You have, I hope, turned them both over and compared their private parts to make sure they're both female. If you bought them from a pet store, you should know that most pet store employees suck at sexing guinea pigs.

I haven’t but can do so. I don’t know what to look for but I guess I can google it. I have to clip their nails anyways...
