Hi All,
I've been following the wheight discussion and I'm so happy that I'm not the
only *nut* out there who wheighs her piggies frequently. I just wanted to
share this nice table I found on a dutch website (www.degrotecavia.nl):
Week Low Normal High
0 60 90 140
1 94 123 182
2 155 182 232
3 218 241 280
4 260 300 320
5 280 320 350
6 290 350 400
7 300 405 490
8 322 462 540
9 370 521 560
10 426 586 600
11 492 618 644
12 520 668 694
16 610 750 756
20 670 906 1036
24 710 960 1059
28 750 992 1099
32 780 998 1140
36 804 1008 1180
40 834 1010 1220
44 868 1034 1250
48 899 1045 1300
72 910 1050 1600
I hope it comes out okay when posted on the list. The left column is their
age in weeks (so for example 12 weeks is 3 months).And the wheight is in
grams. Keep in mind that all the wheights are averages so don't freak out
when your piggie is lighter or heavier.
Also keep in mind that these data are based on dutch piggies and I have no
clue if wheights in other countries are different. Last thing to keep in
mind is that there is a difference between breeds, for example rexpiggies
are usually heavier.
Ow i forgot, this is a girls-table. boys are heavier. If i have time i will
make a boys table.
I also have this table as an excell file,so if anyone is interested just
email me and i will send it (i can also send it as an SPSSfile). At home I
put yaya's and suus's data in my excell table, and i really liked keeping
track of their wheight.(plotted it in graphs, did statistics and everything,
ehm..I'm a scientist so this was like combining two passions in one
project).
Grtz and Wkz
