Unhappy Should I Be Concerned?

Last night, I heard a rumbling from my precious piggie, sounded like my own stomach growling(it wasn't). At first, I thought it was funny, but then I heard it 2 more times and all the things I've read about gas and bloat started running through my head and I got scared! I haven't heard it anymore and today and all night(checked on him 6x), everything seems perfectly normal. He recently added Romaine, baby carrots,cucumber and radacchio to his diet. I follow the guidelines to the letter. He doesn't even eat it everyday-cukes only 2x a week.Could any of those things be causing the rumbling and is it anything to go to the vet's about? I checked...his belly isn't bloated.(These little guys cause so many gray hairs, don't they?!)

Re: Should I Be Concerned?

I didn't think he was, cause he does that all the time, but now that time has passed and he hasn't done it again and now that you said that, you got me thinking! Hopefully that's all it was and I'm just being a nervous 'Mommy'! He is my piggie that's always making some kind of noise! Can you think of anything else I should be concerned about? Thanks!
