I adopted a Peruvian piggy of approx 9 months old a few months ago. I don’t know much but that he was given up by the previous owner because of “dominance issues” and was never with another piggy. When I first got him I noticed that he would bite my clothes whenever picked up and he’s very reluctant to be pet, picked up. I got him a buddy shortly after I adopted him. They get along fine although he does snap at his new buddy when he tries to share his hiding spot (which I suppose is normal). When taking him to the vet, he was very nervous, squirmish, would bite more furiously and the vet mentioned how he may be just a jerk although I’m sure there’s a way to change his behaviour, especially since he’s now that old. During flood time, he usually hides out and doesn’t explore much. Any tips on how I can tame him? Make him trust me? And perhaps make him more pleasant to hang out with?
