Loki has had some ginger flashes as a baby but always reallly small.
They have over a few months grown, alot, bigger!
Now almost his whole left side is ginger, while not on his face, or right side.
Thank you for reading!

I guess so, i'm mid brunette and i go slightly ginger in the summer/'summer', his summer coat should be coming through soon as well.
Going to keep an eye on my piggies now though
 
My Llewelyn and Taffy both went from ginger to dun in middle age, but they didn't change their markings.
 
Rose is ginger/white but there is a lot of white in the ginger bits (if you get what I mean lol) - as she has got older the ginger on her face has got less and the white has got more.
 
I did read on here once someone who had a grey pig that ended up nearly white so yes a colour change is possible! Daisy was a lot lighter when we got her, now she is a darker grey & has developed the distinctive "mealy" around her eyes & mouth. At least that's what it is called in horses I believe, don't know about piggies lol!
 
Aww that sounds interesting, i kind of hope lolo turns all ginger, because it looks soooooo cute on him!
