hylo just got two older boars about a year old from a some one who could no longer look after them. they arn't warming up to me. i've tried feeding them lettuce holding them for 5 mins at a time, but they just shake with they seem petrifyed. i've had piggles most of my life but always from babys and they have bonded with me in a matter of days. hmm.. any ideas on how to bond with older piggies?
thanks
katie
 
i think you just have to be patient and in time they should slowly start bonding with you, they may not be used to alot of human contact. just keep trying to bribe them with food lol
 
Give it time. I found two abandoned older female pigs who then had babies. The two older girls have always been more scared than the new babies and always make much more noise when picked up but thats just their way. Don't worry to much. Just love them :)
 
thanks for the advise! i think they were handled quite a lot cause when i went to pick them up the girl was crying. it was very sad. i have them under the desk at the moment they seem happy there, they keep popcorning which is a good sign. think I'm going to let them run around on the floor in a min.
 
well atleast you know they're happy, just need some time to get used to you and their new surroundings, sure they will love cuddles in no time O0
