I noticed that one of my pigs is getting more scruffy as he gets older but he is only about 6 months old and I just want to make sure this is normal. It’s mostly on is neck and cheeks. He is acting totally fine and shows no sign of pain or illness. Can anyone tell me how I can put pictures in a post? I can’t for the life of me figure it out.

You'll need an image host like Imgur. Upload the photo and copy the URL of the image, then paste the URL in a message here between img tags.

My Guinea Pigs puff out if they get chilly. That's how I know when it's time to bring them inside if it happens when they're outside or to turn up the heat if they're inside. Not sure what the temperature is like in their environment, but it's something to check. The humane society recommends 65-75 degrees.

Make sure he is getting plenty of vitamin C.

A pic would be helpful. Here's how, from the faq:

Feel free to ask if you're still unclear.

If by scruffy you mean unkempt, dirty or missing in patches, then it is definitely not normal.
