Pup Weight
Tables

Wouldn't it be handy to be able to work out the age of a degu pup from its weight, or to estimate what their weight will be at a certain age?

We thought so, and so this section was created! 

The following weight tables are averages based on data from our own (UK) litters. Please note that weights can vary widely depending on circumstance, and this is for guidance only. 

 

	AGE OF PUP	WEIGHT RANGE	AVERAGE
	Newborn	9-16g	13g
	1 week	15-25g	20g
	2 weeks	21-37g	28g
	3 weeks	35-52g	43g
	4 weeks	47-75g	59g
	5 weeks	60-95g	77g
	6 weeks (weaned)	48-122g	80g
