So, I have had this female guinea pig for the past 2 or 3 months and I have been weighing all of my guinea pigs weekly. 3 weeks ago I weighed her and about freaked because she had lost 5 grams. I weighed her everyday that week and then she gained like 30 grams and so I thought maybe she just gains weight in a weird way.
She is only about 4-5 months old so I know she should be growing right now. I weighed her tonight and she lost 4 grams from last week. She seems perfectly healthy; in fact, she has been a lot more outgoing and trusting this week. I have never seen a guinea pig popcorn so much.
Anyway, has anyone else experienced this kind of weight gain. I know that if they lose more than an ounce of weight I should take them to the vet, but she is nowhere close to that yet.
Thanks in advance.
