Recently i have been draping a towel over my knee that has been either rubbed on my other piggies or used as a blanky etc.
By mistake i picked this towel up and sat on the floor with it whilst my 2 young 'uns were having floor time. Jem is confident enough around me to take sweets or climb over me if i am in the way, but doesnt hang about! but the blanket was like a magnet, both piggies, including my 6 week old who is very timid, were up on my knee sniffing and exploring the towel with great excitement. I was able to tickle and stroke them as they were so engrossed in all the exciting smells :(|) I have done this twice since with the same result. I would be interested to hear if anyone else tries this with success.
 
I wonder if I should do that with my new baby boy. My older boars are very brave around me but the two new ones are not as confident. Romano will happily run around on my body as I sit with him but Arthur just sits there looking lost.
