My Piggy Overweight ?

[Wilwong]

i do love my piggies and ashamed to say feed them far too many treats and veggies .. after reading through this wonderful forum I have loads of useful info for a balanced diet ..

This is Flash at present, don’t tell her but I call her Kardashian’s Bum

On a serious note ... looking at her body shape, is she very overweight ? I know googling around a lot of folks say don’t go on weight as a gauge but on body shape ...

Thank you as always !

Hi! You may find this guide here helpful, which tackles exactly this issue. It also contains tips on how you can check at any age whether a guinea pig is overweight for its individual size or not by checking the ribcage (i.e. checking the heft).
