I always thought my old piggy Devlin was obese (her friend Apple was a small pig) but from being on here I see a few chunky pigs, so maybe Devlin was actually normal sized. The vet said she was and they're just fat animals! But how can I tell if they're overweight? They pigs I have now seem fine, but if they gain weight as they get older, how do I know when they need a diet? (I free feed them at the moment because they're still growing!)

Thanks :)
 
Thanks, sorry I didn't find that myself! :)

That puts my mind at ease, since my guinea pigs have never had rolls of fat, just big fat bellies :)
