Recently I’ve discovered that every day my guinea pigs stomach makes weird noises and I don’t know if it’s bloat but he eats fine, I don’t see a change in behavior at all. His poop is fine. I’m not sure if he farts a lot of us bloating or what it is. Please help me

If he is eating and pooing fine, he is probably okay. Are you sure that "he" is really a he? Sometimes you can hear noises from baby pigs that are inside the mother if your pig is a female and pregnant. But only toward the end of pregnancy when the babies are almost ready to be born.

To calm your concerns, you should be weighing your pig on a digital scale every week. Keeping track of your pigs weight is one of the best ways to monitor your pig's health. I suggest that you weight your pig in pounds and ounces. A one ounce fluctuation in weight is no concern. A two ounce decrease is cause to be watchful. A three ounce decrease means something is wrong.

Thank you so much and I will. I’ve had him since he was a baby, I’m so scared.
