Guinea pig not gaining weight?

2016-02-11T21:14:10Z

So I have two guinea pigs, they are about 6 months old and they are brothers. They live together in a large cage. One is a huge porker and hogs the food, even though there is always plenty for both. The smaller pig I am concerned about, he tends to let the porker dominate and eat like there's no tomorrow. I haven't actually weighed them. I know weight and sizes can vary, should I be calling the vet? I don't want him to die.

Feed them in 2 separate areas. Get a second hay rack and food dish and put them on opposite sides of the cage. Feed veggies on opposite sides of the cage as well.
If he looks/feels too thin, it wouldn't hurt to take him to a vet. If he has any other issues (sneezing, coughing etc) definitely take him to a vet. Otherwise just feed in separate areas and see if he gains some weight.
