Question
Hello.  I am a new Cavey mom and I have read a lot but I can't really find anything that tells me how much my pig should weigh at different stages after birth.  I was told she is about 7 weeks and I am just trying to watch her and make sure she is ok.  I lost one of the 2 this morning and I just want to be sure.  Please help. TY

Answer
Hi Sharon

There isnt really a set weight for different stages. The key is that the pig is gaining weight as time passes so please weigh her weekly and monitor this.

When she is fully grown at 15 months she should weigh between 700 and 1300 grams.
