Can someone tell me how big adult males will get and how much they should weigh?
 
A typical male should weigh three pounds.. a female... 2.5 pounds.

I believe 10-12 inches.
 
Sound about right. Males can grow to 2.5lb - 3.5lb.
 
There really is no "average". Guinea pigs, both males and females can be anywhere from 1.5-3 lbs.
 
I have to laugh, because when we got our tiny little guinea pigs, we never thought we were going to end up with 5 poungs of guinea pig between the two of them! They get rather big!
 
My pigs are just a bit overweight as well. I probably should weigh them and cut back on the Romaine lettuce. It is just SO hard not to spoil them!
 
As I have stated on other posts, Cujo weighs around 5 lbs. and is 2 yrs. old!
 
Guinea gal-Don't cut back on veggies, they need those. Cut back on pellets if you think your pig is overweight.
