Answer
well dont rule out that it is a pregnent female. otherwise the only likly thing is either tumor cells or excrement or some sort of bodily cmposition that has compacted inside of the piggy. check to see if it is not a female, and if it is not then it needs to see a vet, only an xray could determine what is inside.
