Belly buldges out

The belly goes more noticeable when a piggy gets fatter, however, there is a condition called "bloat" that can cause the belly to stick out that needs to be treated by a vet asap. Howel is decidedly barrel shaped as he is of the opinion that his wives' food is all his, too... mallethead

How much does he weigh?
well when i took him vets he was 900grams he lost from 940grams and that was 2 weeks ago ive weighed him on my kitchen scales and ive weighed him everyday for 3 days and he was... on 7/2/12- 1138g... 8/2/12- 1119g... 9/2/12- 1147g
hes put on quite a bit of weight since which is good cause he did lose as he put on too much?

He sounds like a healthy weight so he should not look skinny. If you feel he may be bloated then it is best to get him checked out as this can be very dangerous.
I'm going to ring vets in morning to get him weighed properly... i think he just bored tbh
