got the boys sitting n the floor with towels on their laps and let them hold danny and dodger for five minutes. dodger was fine but danny wasn't happy.he wriggled like mad so my husband eneded up cuddling him to his chest to calm him.

dodger then cuddled on my chest for a bit and ate some dandelion leaf. he felt like he was purring-i could feel it more than hear it if that makes sense?

danny wouldn't entertain the leaf but once he was back in the hutch he wolfed it.

dodger even allowed me a brief stroke once he was back in the hutch but then shot off!
 
Good first session - it is normal that you have one piggy that is cuddlier than the other. Just take them to their own limit and then let them go.

It's great that you have been waiting and have given them time to adjust!
 
Aye I think they are pretty much like people, Africa prefers not to be touched or cuddled, where Leo has no opinion on it I don't think. He's quite happy to sit and stare at you for a good few hours =] Good luck with future attempts! =D
