Hi again, I hope I am posting in the right place.
We adopted our two beautiful girls 2 and a half weeks ago. They are aged 2 and have been very well looked after.
I am really worried that we can't handle them. We transport them into their run using a tunnel as per the video clip on the forum and they are just getting to the point where they will dash on to my knee, take some food then dash off, occasionally letting me stroke them. I am worried that they used to be handled by their previous owner and in the rescue and now, because we have let them gently settle in they will not go back to being handled.
I understand that some piggies will not be handled but I am worried we can't groom them, clip their nails or check them over because they simply won't be picked up or stay on our knee.
I would really appreciate any advice.
