When I was at the shelter, looking at Guinea Pigs I got to hold some of the little baby Guinea Pigs. That is exactly how Sugar felt when I first got her, so light and delicate. She doesn't feel like that at all now, but more heavy but just as cute. It just got me thinking, my piggies have grown heaps since I have got them, and I was also wondering, when do they stop growing? :p

Piggies do most of their growing in the first year, and are done growing by 18 months. This page gives you some reference on typical weights for adults: Guinea Lynx :: Weigh Weekly!.

I can't believe my puffy was just a little over 3oz when she was born. Now she's 2 1/2 lbs 14months later.

Hmm, that means my pigs still aren't done growing?! I thought they were done a long time ago... but now that a think about it, they are still getting bigger.
