Supersize Me!

Mr Big has reached the grand age of 2 wheeks and is doing really well. A slow start to eating and not much interest in fresh food has changed to one of interest in everything edible now :) First and foremost Mr Big tucked into Oxbow Timothy Hay, Readigrass followed this and he opened his palate to the delights of fresh food. Eating Spring Greens was probably the biggest challenge and he would leave them with a dark green rim where they’d been gummed but no bites taken.

Chantilly has remained quite the aloof mother putting her own needs first, this seems to have helped Mr Big become more robust, whilst Chantilly is not a big guinea she’s a lot bigger than him and it can’t be much fun when Mum decides a full belly is more important than feeding Mr Big!

On Day 8 Mr Big’s weight had increased to 72g and on day 10 it wasup to 85g.

Mr Big now has 2 playmates in Miss Tickles pups. They weighed in at 78g and 89g, Mr B was 110g at that time (day16).

However none of these weights compare to his visitor yesterday! A whopping 1360g, Mr B weighed in at 10 times smaller- 136g!

Supersize me! With Mr Magic (also from Reading Guinea Pig Rescue) yesterday showing that size doesn’t matter :)
