Biscuit has changed colour!

[cami]

So Biscuit my 2 and a half year old beige boar has changed colour! At first i thought he had just got a little grubby somehow but none of the others had which was weird so i gave him a bath giving the 'grubby' bits a really good scrub but nothing came off he just stayed the same

So he now has sort of a dark browny colour ticking around most of his head and the beginings of a band around his back

Has anyone seen anything like this before?

What could be the reason?

Will try and get a before and after pic but my phone is playing up and wont let me upload any pics

Bless him. I think I have heard of slight colour changes before. I expect it's due to varying levels of melanin or something like that.

This can happen to piggies as they age and nothing to worry about.

My Rosie is the same. She looks really grubby at times, but bathing her only makes her coat look a little brighter but doesn't get rid of the darker patches.
She is 7, and has been grubby looking for a few years. I didn't know it was related to age.

Yup it's called 'sabling' and can happen at any age really...some of them do it during winter/summer as well
