So today while I was holding my piggy, I noticed that she was molting more than usual. Is this normal or should I be concerned?
-I took a picture of the fur loss that was on my lap after stroking her

My gidget is awful at shedding too. She is fine and healthy so I wouldnt worry unless she is scratching alot and having bald spots.

I always have a roll of tape to use everywhere on me that piggies touch after holding them to get fur off. I am going to make some aprons for holding piggies.
Looks "normal" to me.

I have noticed my pig shedding more than usual too, I think it might just be the weather changing
