My pigs were scared when I used to even get up from my bed, they’d all scurry away and I’d just kindve stand there looking at them like •.•

Anyways, for about two weeks I have been routinely refilling their waters, pellets, hay, and giving them a snack and they’ve been staying! They’ll occasionally run up to me and stretch up the cage. I really believe if you’re having trouble with them getting scared it’s good to give them a nice routine so they know what to expect and are even excited for it. I also noticed whenever my piggie marble hears me wake up he’ll squeak loud, and I feel bad because sometimes I’m just getting up to go to the restroom. 😂 If you guys experince happy piggies at your time of giving them food and such, tell me!
 
:) Its great when they start to be less skittish and trust you. Great news!

That's great to hear! My piggies used to be the same way when I first got them! Cocoa took months to gain her trust (and still am somewhat working on it) but now she's the one who wakes me up when it's breakfast time!
 
They are all individuals, some become tame in no time and some take longer. Some love cuddles and others hate being touched. It is lovely when you make a breakthrough and they trust you though. My two boys are four years old and love cuddles and stroking, they were a bit nervous at first but patience wins out. Enjoy them for their different personalities and quirky nature, they are all wonderful and interesting little creatures x

Yes that’s my favorite thing about them, the individual personalities. You just have to cater around them and everything will roll smoothly.
 
It's a great feeling isn't it? If I turn over in bed, mine think that means it's feeding time and they wheek like crazy.
 
Great!

My piggies like to wheek (as loud as possible) when they hear me, usually at night!

They constantly popcorn lol. When I’m cleaning their cage, after I’ve cleaned their cage, when I give them something new, and sometimes for no reason LOL.

It’s genuinely my favorite part of the day. I know I’m a piggie mom because when I hear a small sneeze I freak out and when they make even a tiny wheek I coo. 😂♥
 
It took months for one of my last pair to let me hand feed him. His buddy had been pretty bold almost from the beginning but he'd been a neurotic mess lol. And then he actually came up to the bars and let me hand feed him and it almost killed me to not whoop on the spot right there...except if I'd done that I'd've scared him that much he'd probably never come back again lol.
