Hello everyone,
I’ve got two 12 week old sows. Everything seems to be going okay, they’re still pretty timid but that’s to be expected as they’re still young.
The only problem I’m having is one of them bites me. It’s not like a playful bite, more aggressive. My 3yo boar mouths my hands when he wants to be put back in his cage or doesn’t want to be handled anymore but he has never ever bitten me out of aggression. She seems to approach me when I have my hands in their cage whether it be cleaning it or feeding them etc and climbs up my arm and starts biting my fingers and hands.
I was handling her earlier and she was biting my hands and T-shirt. It’s really sore and she’s drawn blood a few times as well.
I try and hand feed her which she likes and I’m trying my best to handle them consistently but not too much to put them off.
I think I’m just frustrated as my boars never bit me out of aggression. Is it a girl thing?
Any help or suggestions welcome. Pics of them for cuteness.
Thanks!
