Help! Is there any "definite" way of telling whether my piggy is just chubby, or if she's pregnant? I mean, her nipples have gotten a slight bigger, and she's walking like her hips are a bit wider, she's been eating a lot more, and her eyes are brighter. But, that could also mean she just put on some weight, right? What do you guys think? This is her. If she IS pregnant, that is the LAST time I adopt a piggy from someone claiming that he's neutered. Liars. If she's just fat, I need a diet for her pronto! lol

I've never bred pigs myself but to my untrained eye she does look slightly pregnant. Someone who breeds will prob give you a more definite answer though I do know that if she is pregnant or possibly pregnant it's not a good idea to handle her too often just let her stay relaxed. Good luck!

The only way to tell for sure is time, but she does have a little belly on her. The boy she's been paired with, does he have very obvious testicles? If no, he hasn't been neutered.
If she is pregnant, just make sure she has a good quality, varied diet and keep handling to a minimum.
How long has she been with her friend?

I had a piggy who was (and still is) the typical 'eggplant' shape and even the vet said she was pregnant-however when we went for he check up, it turned out that she wasn't. So make sure to get her checked by a few people first before deciding she defiantly is pregnant.
