I'm hoping to bring our piggies home at the weekend. They are a bonded neutered male/female pair, about a year old, rescued from a hoarding situation. They have been handled daily at the rescue and were happily cuddled by my kids when we went to meet them at the rescue last week. When we bring them home do we need to leave them to settle before attempting to handle them? We haven't had experience of piggies before so it will be a learning experience for us all. I've read the guidance on how to pick them up (planning to herd them into a cozy in the first instance) but just not sure when best to start and don't want to traumatize them by trying too soon if that is the wrong thing to do.
Thank you
