New Born Pup
Hi, I have 3 piggies that are approx 10 weeks old (but one is massive compared to the others?!). I got them from a local petting farm that has a great reputation for their animals. I went down this route thinking they would be well handled by the time I got them so my 5 year old could hold them just like he does with the ones at his school. But they are so skittish, they have been home for 6 days now and while they are very happy in their run and eating well they are definitely not in the market for me even stroking them let alone picking them up. How long would it take before I could do this, I just don't want to miss a window of opportunity that's all, it would be a shame if I'd left them to bed in and should have been handling them. I've sat in an empty paddling pool with them today while I read a book and they just got used to me!
