Hello we finally have our 2 little piggies, we collected them from our local RSPCA on Monday ...heres Coco & Pops - Father & son
few Questions id like to ask please ...
1-They dont seem to drink any water ? they are having their veggies which has some water in but is this enough? i wonder if they know where the bottle is ..ive even put 2 bottles in the cage
2-They havent been use to being handled which we hope to change. When i get hold of them i wrap them up in a towel and give cuddles letting them smell my hands, reassuring I'm not going to harm them . Also when they are in their run ( hexagonal cage) we sit in with them ( its huge by the way )so they wander around sniffing us, offering treats for them out of our hands.
So when i get them out of their cage or run its quite a chase, they just run away. i dont want to frighten them ... Should i persist with this or will this make them more scared of us ?
3 - They have an indoor cage, at the moment its in our front room . So they can get use to us & our noises ! Everytime we walk in the room they run away or just freeze...is this something that will come with time ?
Hopefully all the above will resolve once they are settled but i just wondered if theres anything else we can do to help them over come this ?
