New Born Pup
Hey all, sorry if this is in the wrong section.
Anyway, I have owned two sows for awhile now. One of them, 1 year this month, the other one for 4 months.
I have not been able to tame these sows at all.
They will take food from your hands, but immediately run back into their hide house. They won't even think about letting you touch them, and when I have to catch them once per week to change the bedding, they claw and growl the entire time I am holding them.
I have tried slowly introducing them to interaction, they want nothing to do with it.
Their cage is in my bedroom, and I have spent hours sitting on my bed, just talking to them. But as soon as I get up, they run into the hide house.
It's gotten really disheartening.
Do you have any tips to try to tame them?
