Has anyone else got a piggy that seems to be solid and strong?
When we hold Bonnie she is so firm and solid and can almost 'lift' herself up on your hand. We jokingly say she does pull ups on the bars when no ones around:)

When we hold our other Piggys, especially Lottie they feel 'floppy' and soft in your hands-maybe they just relax more? I never knew that some Piggys can be stronger than others.

Ruby is a very 'muscly' piggy, she doesn't feel soft she's solid. Esme is much softer but likes to pull herself up and climb on the bars!
 
My avatar Ronnie is a very solid boy. We call him a fine specimen of a piggy. He has filled out since being neutered and living with his 3 'wives'. Fine figure of a pig but unable to pass on his handsome genes ! Doesn't stop him trying though. :))
 
Out of my two Blondie is the smallest but he's like a little rugby ball when you try to pick him up, Hermes is bigger but far more squishy. I think it's just like people, they have different builds. It's the same with my rats, some are really chunky and solid and others are more slender and soft.
 
I took Rodney to the vet yesterday and she called him a 'beast'. :(|)

Not sure I'd say solid tho, more like..... splodgy :x
 
Interesting how they can be so different.
I love them all but I do prefer holding soft 'squdgy' piggies x)
 
Arties a chunky monkey, hes not fat hes just very fit i imagine him as human as this hulk of a bloke whose actually really shy and secretly enjoys cuddles!

Harveys much leaner and thinner, and Tabbys just a curvey lady!
 
When I got Nico 6 months ago, he was 1.1kg of pure muscle. Hardly any podge on him, just totally solid. Since then he has put on another 200 grams and now has a bit of a tum.
 
I think Gilbert is quite solid and big. I call him a beast and my big boy as a joke.

His cage mate on the other hand is the lightest piggie I've ever had. He's just so light I feel like I'm carrying a feather.

I feel bad for poor Ludwig with such a big beast as his cage mate. :))
