Iv seen this mentioned as a sign of agression but i dont know what it means.

My piggie will sometimes shake herself either when stroking her or occasionally walking bout....like she has an itch?

Am so confused and dont want to be making her angry if thats whats happening.

I mean we dont force her she *** comes along an sits there.

Also last night when sitting cross legged on the floor she came over sniffed my hand and bit its twice, i put it down to just handling her veggies. Then she came back got inbetween my legs and bit my foot (it had no sock on) it hurt an marked me but i didnt bleed or anythin. She stayed there an then climbed up on my legs an was having a fine old time nibbling at my leggings. when she went over to the bf she nibbled his jacket too.

Is all this including this 'shaking' normal behaviour?

Please help!
 
It all sounds like normal behaviour to me, the shaking probably is just because of an itch or just a little shiver/sorting out her fur. As for the biting pigs tend to test things to see if it's edible/chewable, it certainly doesn't sound aggressive. Just make sure you're hands don't smell like food and if she starts nibbling you give her a little nudge to make her stop or give her some veggies to nibble on instead. :)
