Its been a couple months and i still cant get Lucy comfortable. Runs away and constantly whines when you try to pet her, If you pick her up she creams like she is being shot but once you have her on you she calms down but no matter what I do I cant get her to just relax... Her and buddy get along amazing now its adorable and I thought she would be mroe calm now but nope.. any other ideas?
 
I used to touch my blind piggy lightly on the back before I picked her up. I also talked gently to her the whole time. You can also try to picture yourself in your head picking up Lucy very gently and carefully, and then aim the picture at her.
 
You could also try picking up Buddy first and running your hands over him so that your hands smell of familiar piggy smell when you try to pick her up.
 
I have a blind pig. I chat away to her when i'm in the room & she comes out from under her stool but if i go to pick her up she will run away but so do my sighted pigs.
The only suggestion i have is to keep chatting to her & keep doing what you are doing, some take longer than others & some (blind or not) just don't appreciate being held no matter what. :)
