Questions/Stories?
Im feeling better now =) And also have lots of more questions! 1) My guinea pig is getting MUCH heavier whats wrong with him? 2) Mabe is he actually a her? 3) "His" belly is all lumpy, Is anything wrong? 4) "He" is eating like a cow, Am I not feeding him enough? 5)"He" is almost 1000 grams is "he" to fat? I'll post some pictures soon!

1000g is a good weight. He can gain more and still be "normal." I think he's adorable, but am wondering if he's -- oh shoot. I lost the word! Someone help me! -- Pigs with hollow hair. The ones that look really shiny and almost glow. (Darned brain damage!)
Glad you're feeling better.

The range of size for guinea pigs is quite vast. Some barely make 2 lbs, if at all, and other get to be 4 or even more. I think 2 1/2 to 3 is average for boys.
I use the quotes because "normal" is such an unspecific word. Guinea pigs can be not normal and still perfectly healthy.

So now my only questions are 1) His belly is all lumpy, Is anything wrong? 2)"He" is eating like a cow, Am I not feeding him enough? and last but not least 3)Mabe is he actually a her? I re-looked at how to check a piggys gender and the more I think about it the more I think it is a girl. And just to clairify ANYONE else can ask their own questions on this post and just like the title I would LOVE nice little stories about your sucesses and failers so I could learn more.
P.S. Feel free to tell/ talk about anything piggy realated =) .

I have been trying to take a picture for a long time but he is just to squirmish. All of the pictures I take look like a blurry mess of fur. One more question that I have not asked yet, Is a petstore cage that has a water bottle, a food bowl and a pigloo a good traveling cage? It is about 3 square feet.
