Lazy Piggies?

[Abi372]

Hi every one just have a couple of questions.
Anybody have any ideas how I can get my piggies to be more active? I hide food around their cage and play pen. The only time they are active is in a morning when they get excited for food.
Also I'm having trouble catching them. I have a snuggle pouch for them but they won't go in it and I have also tried picking them up when they go in their tunnel. I don't want to chase them round the cage. I have tried feeding them. Once theye are out of the cage the love cuddles. They get so excited when they hear me getting the playpen out but still wont be caught.
One of my piggies will chatter and make a growling sound if my partner pets him while he is on my lap. He is perfectly fine if he is sat on my partners lap. Is there a reason he does this? Thanks in advance

How old are your piggies, and how long have you had them ?
It can take months to win them over, so sometimes you just need to be patient (and come bearing food)!

My 2 are also couch potatoes and only active when there is food involved!

They are around 5 months old roughly. I got them when they were 9 weeks old. I just don't want to worry them when getting them out. Once they are out they are really affectionate. Especially the one that is really shy. He will lay right under my chin for ages.
They are they are so lazy though. I'll just have to keep opening and closing the fridge door all day to get them to exercise hahaha
