I put her in a bowl to weigh her, but she flipped it onto herself.

Despite the rodent smell She is still just a snail in a shell
They don’t actually smell bad, though I understand you’re trying to rhyme.
It’s a play on the song Rat in a Cage by Smashing Pumpkins:
Despite all my rage I’m still just a rat in a cage….
Is she an adult? How much does she weigh?
I’m currently worried one of my pigs is underweight. She’s 2.5 years old and 850grams
That sounds reasonable. My little lady is almost 4 years and 850 g. Her cagemate is a younger and much less active gentleman who has developed an excess of chonk at 1110 g.
She was heavier and had some thyroid issues that caused weight loss but she’s stabilized now. My advice is to do weekly weigh-ins. If she’s stable, it should be ok.
If you notice she seems to be always ravenous and/or moody, that’s how we first picked up on the thyroid issue, coupled with a noticeable weight loss (as in feeling different when picking her up, not even needing a scale).
She’s roughly 3 years old, and weights a kilogram.
