Is my guinea pig bloated?

This is my guinea pig in comparison to my hand, recently people have been saying that Coca-Cola is looking slightly fat and I was wondering if he was or not

@C&C <3 Bloat is a medical issue so if your pig is still eating and pooping okay then he's not.

How much does he weigh? How old is he? Pigs come in many shapes and sizes and some look a lot porkier than others but are fine and healthy.

Thank you - he is eating fine and pooping fine as well so I don’t think it’s bloat

Being overweight is different to bloat. You would need to have a feel of the heft to check whether he is a good weight or not. Piggies vary massively in size and weight so looking alone will not tell you and neither will the weekly weigh in.
