Skinny pig hair... growth?
Late this March, I adopted a skinny pig (Winnie, sow, ~4-5yrs as I was told) from an acquaintance who could no longer care for her. Recently I noticed her fuzz especially on her upper back has gone from peach fuzz to almost a sparse coat in the few months we've had her. I'd seen her before, over a year ago, so I know she wasn't just missing fur. The only things I can think of are dietary changes (better food and more fresh veg) or hormonal changes, but I couldn't find anything via Google.
She's my first skinny, so is this common? Is there a reason it happens, or it something that just happens?

I’m glad I saw this because I have skinnies for the first time and did not know this. I have 4 that range in age from 1 1/2 years to 3 years old so I will now know this when they get a bit older.
