Mama Squeak
New Born Pup
Hello to the Forum. I have had my two girls for 3 months now. I have been really good at sitting with them, getting to know them, letting them get used to me and this has been brilliant. At the start they got so used to me they would come out of their hidey holes, play, eat and sleep whilst I was there. About a month ago, I started handling them. Small amounts of time. So every day I have lap time with each piggy for 15 mins. I feed them treats and talk quietly to them. Whilst they are on my lap they seems to like the experience. But I have started to notice that they now run off from me and hide when I am around. They still come out eventually, but it seems the more I handle them, the more wary of me they become. Will they get over this, or should I stop handling them. I dont want to cause them stress, but I do love my 15mins piggy time together. Any advice? I have a large inside enclosure in my spare room for them both, lots of igloos, hidey holes etc.
