Rachelanne
New Born Pup
So I am a new owner and I decided instead of purchasing a pair of pigs, to rescue a pair. I rescued a pair of 3 year old males, who came as a pair of brothers, and I'm having some trouble with them. I have a very vague idea of how they were handled and cared for before so I am not to sure what they were accustomed too. I just know they came from a woman who had over 15 pigs because she surrendered them all, and told them that my boys could only go together and not with any of her other pigs. One of my males, named Jinkx is very aggressive towards everyone and won't let anyone get near him unless they have food in hand, he's also very aggressive towards his brother, who I was told he's been with all his life. My other male pig, Divine is very timid and frightened, which I completely expect, but I feel as if he doesn't get along with Jinkx because of Jinkx's aggressive nature. Basically Jinkx chases him away from everything and won't let him go in any hides, like if Divine goes in one Jinkx immediately runs him out, but he does let him eat with him, because I did give them separate bowls and they end up just eating out of one together. I guess I'm just looking for advice with handling rescued pigs and if there any tips/tricks on gaining their trust.
Oh & also chew suggestions because they won't chew on any of the chew sticks or blocks I've gotten them.
