    Any ideas on the age of a female ~8inch and male ~12 inch hoggie? Unfortunately I don't have the weights available.
    Any input is greatly appreciated!!

    It is really impossible to tell from that little information, or size in general. We do not know the eating habits, what they were fed etc..

    I know my one male is about 2 years old and weighs prolly 17-18g, so if I did not know how old he was, I would assume he was much younger. He has been a spotty eater in the past (eats fine now) so even for a male he is on the small side. Just giving you an example.

    Haha yeah I figured as much but it was worth a shot. And holy cow that's one tiny hog!
    Thanks for the perspective though. I guess I'll just have to wait and track their growth. Poo.

    Ok so the little girl is a whopping 10 grams, the male is 34. They're eating pinkies and fuzzies, respectively. Unfortunately I don't have how often they were fed :(

    But here's some pictures of the cuteness!!!!
