Hello all
I need some advice!
I have had my two lovely pigs (shakira and beyonce) for nearly 7 months and they're still not very affectionate! Although they are not as scared (they will feed out from my hand) they don't really enjoy sitting with me for a cuddle.
What am I doing wrong?
 
Hi :) some pigs just dont do affection lol, my 5month old girls dont like sitting with me but they'll come to the edge of the cage to talk to me and let me stroke them, i got them to do this by giving them cabbage and spinsch through the bars so they come over to see what ive got :) My boar seems to be naturally affectionate. I think food is the key, if you want them to sit with you and enjoy it try giving them grass etc while they're with you and I'm sure they'll start associating you with food! x
 
Hi, Agreed...................... The way to some piggies' hearts is through their tummies - try it - you'll see. Your piggy will soon be smothering you with piggy kisses hopefully. :)

food food food, best bribe in world! i can even be bribed with food lol ;D
 
;D ;D ;D ;D

Try sitting on the floor at play time and offering little bits of food and then eventually as they get used to you and come to you, try picking them up and popping them up on your lap (stay sitting down so they don't get scared ) and have some more yummies for them to have whilst sitting on your knee :)
Good luck, just keep trying a little each day :)
