Popcorn (nearly 1 year old) has got a very thin area of fun right in the centre of her back. I have seen her nibbling at herself there occasionally, so it is definitely her, not her sisters barbering. The skin underneath isn't red or flaky and she isn't constantly bothering at it.
I know piggies with hormonal issues sometimes bite at their sides (and she is the horniest piggie I have ever known), but this is slap bang in the centre of her back.
Do we need to worry, or just keep an eye on her?

Pics for context, sorry for the terrible lighting!
