Guinea Pig Land!
Yesterday when I was weighing my pigs, when I picked up Buster, my Buff Satin boar, I noticed his body was rather warm (not really warm, just noticably warmer than the other pigs). I thought it could be because he might have been huddling with his mate Johnny.

However today when I was cleaning them out I noticed Buster again was warm. Same sort of heat as yesterday.

Could it just be me worrying, or are there other signs I should look out for with him?
 
If a piggy really has fever, it's usually looking off and a bit lethargic and fluffed up.
 
No he seems fine otherwise. He's not fluffled up, has been eating his hay and running around as usual. Maybe he has just been huddled up to Johnny alot. I've put in extra hay (even though they had masses of hay before) just in case he is getting colder cuz of the weather.

Will keep a close eye on him over the weekend though. Cheers Wiebke.
