I've now had my piggies for 8 months and I seemed to uncover a bald spot on their feet. I want to know what this is!

It's normal for pigs to have bare patches on the inside of their front legs and behind their ears. It just general 'wear' from grooming themselves. It's more noticeable on some pigs than others, but perfectly normal and nothing to worry about!
