I have noticed over the past couple of weeks that Terra has been shedding. Is this normal or is it a sign of illness?

It's normal. Unless you're seeing bald patches in places other than normal (insides of the ankles, behind the ears) or you notice a lot of scratching or the skin looks sore, then it's fine

Yep shedding is normal. Even short hairs pigs should ideally be groomed.
You should see the hair that comes out of my pigs when grooming for show!

Yep it sounds like your petting all the guard hairs out of his coat. Perfectly normal
