Pics of my new Sow, and a question about her weight/age

[LiloDFC]

I just got Sunny yesterday, they told me that they weren't sure of her age, but that she was a baby. I don't know about average weights per ages or anything, but isn't 740g a bit much for a "baby". Bridget is 635g, as of last Monday, I'm very unsure of her age as well. If anyone has some chart or something about averages, that would be cool.

And here she is:





I took these at night so the light level in the room wasn't real bright, but you get the idea =)

What a cutie! She doesnt seem much of a baby. I'm guessing she's about..3-5 months old. How long is she?

 

[LiloDFC]

About 10 inches long it looks like, she's much bigger than Bridget in length. Can't wait for the weeks to go by so I can measure them together.

Ok. My piggies are about that length. I think she is 3-5 months, maybe 6 months old. That is a normal weight for a pig, considering my 7 month-old aby weighs 2 1/2 lbs and the other only 1 1/2.

I miss my short-haired piggie.

What do you think for Bridget? It really makes me curious for her since she just had pups two weeks ago tomorrow. She was over 500g when I got her so I figured she'd be ok, I read that a sow should be at least 500g before getting pregnant. She was 604g the day she gave birth too.

Bridget is probably younger than Sunny. Either that or she is the runt of the litter. im guessing 2-4 months.

Well, thank you very much =) at least I have an estimate, I was just thinking today that I just have no clue what age they could be!

I guess I can just go with the midrange and say Bridget is 3 months and Sunny is 4 months, and try to give them birthdays for a little reference. Thanks again!

No problem! The day people usually have for the piggies b-day is the day they got them.
I have my piggies b-day the same day as my other piggie died (Voodoojoint is gonna make me a crochet piggie of her ^^) It's a sad yet easy way to remember
