A weighing kind of a day




Our guinea pig babies are now 5 days old and are growing fast. As one of the children commented on how little they were we thought that this was the right moment to check out their weight. With the help from some kitchen scales provided by Kathie's Mum we set about weighing the babies. The one with the tuft weighed in at 140 grams, while the other guinea pig was 10 grams lighter at 130 grams. It won't be long and we will be able to sex them and see if our prediction that the heaviest guinea pig might be a boy is correct. While the scales were in action we decided to weigh Franklin. He weighed in at a healthy 510 grams.
