Junior Guinea Pig
Hey folks
I'm a little puzzled, one of my guinea pigs has the loudest tummy, I've only noticed it in the past few weeks, I've never heard a guinea pig with such a loud tummy, she's eating and pooping normally, drinking fine, moving around happily and is eager for food every day.
I've felt her tummy and it feels soft and found no lumpiness or tightness and it seems a normal girth, having handled a bloated piggy, definitely does not feel the same.
I'm currently in the worst month for being in contact with covid (I've had it at the beginning of the month, and been in contact with it again twice more since I got better so I've been utterly stuck! so annoying.) so I can't exactly get to the vet rather annoyingly and there isn't anyone really to help me out there. But she seems completely fine I'm not even sure there is anything to look at.
But I just wanted to see if anyone had anything different to say.
Doesn't seem to correspond to any specific food, I've been giving them a variety which changes daily, Cucumber and a little bit of carrot is the only thing that's really consistent, otherwise I range what they get each day with lettuce, kale, spinach, celery, pepper, sometimes grass and forages from outside but my gardens dry as a bone right now so not much of that lately.
They always have hay available, a mix of meadow and timothy, hard food is provided daily (I use burgess not usually fussy on what they're on the orange packet at the moment) so thats usually available as they don't tend to eat all of it between one feed and the next. They have some of those compacted grass chews that hang from the cage.
All the piggies eat the same, she's the only one with a gurgly tum, think she's about a year or two old now I've lost track a little but I have it written down somewhere. Long haired piggy that I keep trimmed and she's an utter beast of chaos, hasn't yet had to visit a vet for any issues.
Any ideas? Anyone else had a guinea pig with a super loud tum? Do I just have a piggy with a noisy gut or might there be something more sinister?
Once I'm definitely clear of covid I'm intending to take her and her cage mate to the vet as her cage mate seems to sneeze every time he eats (he is neutered I should stress that, no babies here), that started during this covid chaos as well, as well so the pair of them have some oddities that need looking at when I can finally get out.
