Piggies body temperature are similar to ours.
A cold nose to me may indicate something brewing - is he fluffed up at all (they do this to keep themselves warm by trapping air in their hair hence look fluffy)
Is there any change in habits, eating/drinking etc. How do his poops look ?
Lots of questions to ask yourself but the better choice is a vet visit for a check up if you are concerned.

Loki is naturally fluff ball, so I couldn't tell.
But he keeps squeeking REALLY LOUD! Like alot louder than I've ever heard.
But when I check him over, he's fine, when I check to see if he has food/water/hay etc, he has. Also Harvey DEFFINATELY has not harmed him, as you would of never met a more loving piggy!
He squeaks alot more, there kind of like annoyed squawks, but can't find anything wrong!
I let them out too play as "floor time for at least 2 hours a day, n he's very healthy.
Should I be worried?
I'm a little scared tbh

Thank you

Ok, can you distinguish when/why he squeaks at all ? Is it when he poops/wee's etc. I'd be looking for cries of pain then whisk him off to the vet
Do you weigh Loki and keep a record ? A loss of 20g or more needs watching carefully.
Does he eat veggies well generally ?
I use one of these for each of mine and any vet visits/treatment/dates etc. is written on the reverse:

Also check feet, behind and inner ears for any abnormalities, part his hair to check for any unwanted guests (long haired piggies are a nightmare at times :x)

My concerns would be that piggies hide their illnesses very well being prey animals - often can be too late to do anything by the time we are sure there is something amiss. Never wait if you are worried, vets understand if it's nothing and would rather us take precaution.
