chubby female

[silvershark]

ok my one eyed female has a bit of a gut. i've found various empty snail shells recently but she dont take much in the way of dried food which i supply (usually cos she cant see it and the other pigs eat it all too quick). i just read about them being over full of eggs and not being able to get rid of.

is this likely to be the case and if so is it harmful?

For feeding time, catch her in a net, then float her in the tank but inside the net. Drop pellets in for her in the net and she won't be bothered by the other pigs.

Fast her for a few days - make sure she doesn't eat anything - and see if the belly goes down.

It could be several things, but most times it's constipation or eggs.
I'm not an egg expert, so someone else will most likely come along and give you more info on them.
