I am wondering if anyone has had this problem with their younger pigs. I got my 7 month old pig a friend, did the whole introduction, quaranteen, neutral quarters thing, all went well.

I notice now that the younger pig is eating the older pigs hair, is this normal?? Not sure what to do about it.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

It is called Barbering, and other than making your other pig look like he has bad choices in hair stylists, it is harmless.
Go here and scroll down to the Barbering section Guinea Lynx :: Hair Loss

Thank you so much, I looked at guinealinx but I guess I missed that section. I won't worry about it then.
