When should I start to hold them?

Hello!

I just brought my two girls home a couple days ago. They're already taking food from my hand! When I tried to pet Lumen she scampered off. They seem to 'popcorn' at the sound of the Timothy hay bag already and are very active little ones!

When I took them out to clean their cage they did a lot of running from me and I had to chase them around for a bit.

Should I continue to feed them from my hand and talk to them for a couple more days or pick them up to hold them?

Thanks!

Dont know how you can resist holding them
If they're fine with you hand feeding they'll be fine with holding
Its not uncommon for pigs who love being held to run away when trying to catch them for cuddles, its their prey instinct.
