I am no expert, but it looks like a missing nail. One of my girls lost a nail. If you are worried get the vet to give it a look over.

is there anything i can do? he’s not in pain and eating happily
 
Does look like he caught his nail on something, keep an eye on it but if there's no redness or swelling and he's not in any pain he's probably fine and the nail will grow back x
 
I don’t think there is a lot you can do. Keep an eye on it. If you are worried get a vet to take a look at it.

Hi!

Your boy has ripped a toenail; nothing much to worry about. It will hopefully grow back but may be a bit thicker. It is not at all uncommon in piggies. Unless the toe is hotter to the touch than the other toes, there is no infection I can see. The size of the toe is normal.
