Hey all,
I’ve noticed both my piggies lips to have gotten darker the last week. Should I be concerned? Nothing has changed and they’re both healthy as far as I’m aware.

How old are your piggies?
Sometimes as they mature piggies change colour as they move from their juvenile colouring towards their adult colouring.
Your piggy looks like it might have a bit of Himalayan in it, so this would be perfectly normal.
 
Oh my they are lovely - I adore the matching stripes!

Not sure about breeds (it's not really my area), but if they seem happy and healthy then I would assume it is just adult colour changes (which would start to occur around now).
 
Nothing constructive to add other than they are gorgeous! 😍😍
 
Are they on any colored bedding? Occasionally when the store is out of plain brown paper bedding we have to buy blue or green and I do notice it rubbing off on the light-colored pets at times.
