Fight or mites?

[Gooksters]

My girls went out in their run for a short time yesterday and when I went out to them there was fur around the run.
The fur seemed to be mostly if not all belonging to one of the pigs I checked them and that one has a mark on her back so I wondered had they had a fight though have not known them too before. She is white and there does seem to be a some black dots in her fur though and now I'm wondering if she has mites and has done it to herself?
They seem ok with each other now and when I went out to them they were sat together?

To find a substantial amount of hair would suggest they had a little spat. Parasites in the coat tend to lead to more gradual hairloss rather than a lot in one go.

If you can see 'peppering' in the coat this is likely to be hay mites and the girls would benefit from an insecticidal shampoo or spot on treatment. This might explain the spat as the discomfort may be making them a little grumpy.
