I can't believe how brave they are I am sitting in the run with them. They keep head butting me to try and move me out the way. Lol. Little terrors. I had 1 tray with hay in the run and they were fighting over it so I had to put 2 in, they are now Sharing the same tray. Typical.
I have had Alby and fudge over 2 months now, nearer 3. And they were 2 1/2 year old adults when I got them. I am there 3rd owner. And I have the suspicion they were well handled in their first home. As Alby is quite a confident piggie now. They still don't like being picked up or I make any sudden noises/movements they run and hide. Also I find veggies fed by hand and talking to them every time you are near the cage/hutch helps them. Don't give up, remember slow and steady wins the race. Just take each day at a time. I lift them out the cage using their tubey tunnel. I say "tunnel" and usher them into the tunnel then pick them up inside the tunnel. you will get there in the end, just enjoy your piggies and have fun.
Also they are squabbling more when I put them into the run or back into the cage. I have to put fudge into the run first or back into the cage first or there is a major squabble. Does this mean Fudge is the boss pig?
