Hi. Hetty is moulting huge amounts. Absolutely fine in herself, eating etc. She is a shorthair but is quite thick. No balding spots and not scratching. I’ve looked for lice etc and she is clear. Every time I stroke her I am getting so much hair out on her back (all over). Is this normal for the change in temp? Anyone else have piggies that suddenly shed more?

I’m not sure what could be causing the moulting but commenting in the hopes someone can help your query.
 
Piggies do shed year round but can shed seasonally, some more than others.

As long as you aren’t noticing any scratching, skin irritation, bald patches etc then it probably isn’t of concern
