Farting pig...

[Tigermoth]

Probably a daft question but one of my pair is farting like a trooper. Not sure which one, they are sitting together in the hay tray munching. Is it something to worry about? I don't think I've ever heard one do it before but there have been a fair few over the last twenty minutes half an hour. Not a sign of a brewing bloat is it?

It may be because of eating building up gas? i would maybe just moniter him. If he farts a lot, bring him to the vet just to be safe.

I’ve heard mine fart a couple of times in the past. Usually after some gassy veg. And when that’s happened I have taken them off veggies for a day or so until it settles down. But I guess it’s better that the gas is moving out rather than getting trapped. Have they had anything different from usual?

No, nothing different, they seem happy enough although there is a pile of pointy poop behind Timmy so I might take out the veg for a day or two. It seems to be a bit like that lately. A few days off the veg, back on, pointy poo, a few days off.

Happy boy with a frighteningly old lady looking hand! 25+ years of NHS handwashing does that!

When I read your thread title I thought you’d linked up with my ex partner

I used to have that a bit with my RB Rupert (and my nasty ex too @Winniepeg! ) after he first had his bloat and became a bit funny with greens afterwards. I just did the same and stopped veg for a day or two as well. That pic is lovely, that little face!

My Edward was farting a few weeks ago and had pointy poo. I just took him off veg for 24 hours and it soon stopped x
