hair changing color

Question
Have a 10 month old male guinea pig. His hair is changing color from black to grey and from black to brown. He seems to be in good health, eats well and loves to play in the grass. Is it normal for his hair to change color so early in life?

Answer
Hi Wendy,

I've never noticed hair changing colour in any of my piggies, but I shouldn't think it's anything to worry about. If you're concerned, pop him along to a specialist small animal or exotic pet vet.

Sorry I couldn't have been of more help.

Jenny.
