I noticed today while stroking Bramble, on my lap, that he seems to have quite a lot of dandruff that only becomes apparent while being stroked. Could this be a nutrient deficiency of some kind? I'm not really sure if Bracken has the same because his fur is light coloured, but Bramble has quite a bit of black on him so it was very easy to see.

They are being treated for mites (They've just had their 2nd lot of Zeno50 treatments & due their third next week) so don't think it can be due to that.
 
He is highly unlikely to be nutrient deficient and instead the dandruff is more likely to do with the mites.

See if things improve once treatment has finished.
Some piggies do have drier skin than others without there being an issue
