I have two sows that are now a year old never had any health issues with them I've noticed the last week that it sound like one of there stomachs are rumbling never heard this before they're both fine in themselves eating and drinking fine just wondering what this could be ?
 
Can you only hear it when you listen close to her tummy, or can you hear it from further away? If the latter, if she is also moving her rear side to side while rumbling, then that is rumblestrutting which is perfectly normal behaviour.

I can hear it from further away but doesn't do the rumbling strutting behaviour
 
Christian rumbles quite a lot without doing his sexy bum wiggle. He does it to show what a big, handsome and virile chap he is. He also does it to show off. The other 4 don't take a blind it of notice of course but it doesn't stop him from trying!

Here is Christian to say hello to your girls!

@Lighteningamy Is she still doing it? Rumbling stomachs can be a sign of a mild digestive issue, possibly a slight build up of gas.

It can go away itself but if it's still happening then it would be worth a trip to the vet.

Have they eaten anything different? It'd be worth giving them plain boring food for a few days, don't give them anything new

I've just been giving them the usuall there pellets , cucumber , celery , sweet corn tomato fennel , will keep an eye on them if still hearing it tomorow will head to the vets thanks so much for your help
 
@Lighteningamy You're welcome! As they've not had anything different then I would think that it was just a one off, so hopefully she should be all good soon.

They're adorable, gorgeous girls.
 
Just a little update being the parinod mum I am phoned the vets who I'm very friendly with as my previous hamster had pyometria and had surgery with them were on first name basis 😂 , they want me to reduce veggies for a couple of days and just Monitor her I sussed out what piggie it is (saint my ginger teddy) her stomach is soft not bloated so hopefully just one of , thank you all again for your help!
