If the piggy is not pregnant then a firm belly can be a sign of bloat. If you gently tap the sides of her tummy, does it sound hollow? This can also be a sign. Is she pooing regularly?

Bloat is a very serious and painful condition. If her stomach has suddenly become hard then I would recommend having her seen by a vet. Her tummy may be full of gas, and she would need some gut stimulants to help.
