Hi, my 3 year old pig lost some hair on her tummy. She wasn't itching or showing any distress and the hair started to grow back. Recently her hair has started coming out again and the baldness is spreading to her sides. She has lost a bit of weight in comparison to the other 2 but is still eating, drinking and having her season like usual. Has anyone experienced this sort of thing before? If it is mites, would my other 2 pigs pick them up as well as they are showing no signs of hair loss. Thank you.
 
I would get her checked out by a vet especially as she has lost weight. I would weight her daily now too. Piggies who are ill can lose fur from stress.
 
Thank you for that - I'll start weighing her and get her booked in.
