Do your piggies have any special characteristics? Coconut and Hazelnut, my piggies, do. They are very particular about their head (most pigs don't mind, do they? Or is it an "all piggy" type thing?). They absolutely will NOT let me pet their head with 5, 4, 3, or 2 fingers without me earning a head butt. I have to admit, it IS pretty funny, but I've never seen any other piggy do that. So, do your piggies have any characteristics?
 
My oldest piggy Peri likes to nibble my socks when I'm in the pen and will make a nuisance of herself ever time I'm cleaning Climbing and chewing bags, she's obsessed! Salsa will only eat on her own, nabbing food and then running off and hiding and Dory will only eat food stole out of the mouth of another!
 
My Daisy used to hate getting her head touched too. I don't think it bothers her that much now as I only get a head butt now and again rather than every time. She also LOVES a chin rub! She would sit with her head back all night so I could rub her chin if I let her!
 
Salt tries to take the brush off me when I sweep the cage and tries to climb into the bag and pia tries to jump out of the cage when you are bringing food
 
Rambo is just special all over, we think she's not quite there half the time. She zones out and just stares at the wall blanky, that's when I can take advantage and stroke her as much as I like! Patch is my group trouble maker and resident biter... Little sod is always trying to get her teeth into me and the OH... Rory spends more time running around instead of eating, as soon as food is put in the pen he'll run around and is completely oblivious to the fact there is food present... ;)
 
Lola will happily take more than her fair share of food, yet she is not having any of it when Lily takes her portion!
Lily doesn't like a chin chin (aka chin rub), don't try, please, or she's give a little nip! Lola is the leader, and Lily stays close and follows her. :luv:
 
Gizi Is like radio active or something! She can jump over anything! She jumped over a 20 inch wall so we knew we had to get a cover for the cage because she wanted floor time all day! Also she is very hard to catch!
 
This is a new development but Barney has started sitting in the corner of the cage staring at me until I come and give him a fuss then he wiggles his bum, rumbles at me and popcorns off.

All the others have their own little quirks too.
