Some piggies do lose their wheek for no apparent reason but I advise a vet check to rule out a medical problem
Hi!
If in any doubt, please have your piggies vet checked upon arrival. It could be a medical problem like a respiratory infection, especially at this young age.

Like Claire W said, some piggies just lose their wheek for no reason. My piggie Gem does that sometimes. As long as there don't seem to be any signs of respiratory distress, like heavy breathing, wheezing or whistling sounds, etc, then it's likely nothing to worry about.
