Sorry for the scare Janneke, I was tring to read the scale I bought from walmart, lol. I miss understood how to read it. I have learned something today. You are right about the weight of 1,36 kg is right I just didn't know how to interput it. Thanks for clearing that up. At what I said he'd probably a big as my car lol.

  Hi birdie,
You scared me ;-) saying that your old boy wheighs 350kg. I wheigh 
around 
70kg ;-) that would be one chubby pig!!  I think 3 pounds is 1,36 kg or 
136 
grams. If you are not sure about what is too fat (though i like my 
piggies 
chubby) you can check the following.
Guinea pigs can have love handles, just as us humans. They are in their 
arm-pits, or should i say frontpaw-pits? If they have cushions there, 
then 
they are overwheight (if you want to see pigtures, check this site 
http://www.degrotecavia.nl/tedik.html it's in dutch but if you scroll 
down 
the pigtures speak for themselves). actual wheight doesn't say that 
much, as 
people vary, so do piggies.
btw, I do really appreciate you calculating his wheight into grams, i 
shall 
give it a try next time when i mention wheight.
Special cuddles for big jimmy jr!
