Rolled on to back 😞

[Claire W]

I’ve just got the pigs out and Edward rolled on to his back as I put him down and it took him 2-3 seconds to right himself He’s 5 and a half. Could he have just fallen over as I put him down? Should I be concerned? They’re at the vets for nail trims next Tuesday, should I mention it to the vet?

If he seems ok now I’d just keep an eye on him.

Mine do that occasionally too @Claire W. Its as if they lose their balance for a few seconds. My piggies are around the same age as Edward and they are fine after. If you are at all concerned about him, mention it to the vet.

Thank you. It was as if he lost his balance. I’ll keep an eye on him x

Hope he’s ok Claire! I’m sure it’s like @Betsy said and he lost his balance... these piggies like give us humans a fright don’t they x

Hi!

It can happen that especially older piggies unbalance and no longer have quite the flexibility to right themselves again. As long as he can still right himself, he should be fine.
