Cuys can grow up to 8 lbs, and I dont know how many inches. Flower who wasnt a cuy was about 2.1 lbs, and was about 1 foot long. Lulu, is only 1.6 pounds, and about 8-9 inches long.

At 9 months your piggy is mostly full grown. It might put on a little more weight but it shouldn't get much larger.

Aww I thought he was going to be a big fat boy I mean I think he is that old I bought him in march at a pet store he is still smaller then the other pigs at the store. We were going to get a girl but they are huge compared to him.

I don't think there's a significant difference in size between genders.

Your guy probably won't grow any longer, but he'll put on some more weight. I have three pigs about a year to a year and a half old, and for the most part, they stopped getting "bigger" a few months ago, but they've all gotten more plump.
