I think Mojo might be part goat. He keeps attempting to eat everything.
He always licks my mum then suddenly bites which draws blood.
He likes biting flesh and the marshmellowy things on headphones and has shredded one on my headphones. Rips holes in my clothes and bites my cat.

Also he gets very vocal when you attempt to clip his nails or give him a bath.
In an angry way he sounds like an angry hamster but alot louder and raspier.

Anything I can do to try and get him to behave as I cant let anyone else have cuddle times with him as he is too bitey.

Is he young of older?
My Harvey used to be like this, but he grew out of it.
Do you have wooden chew toys, blocks etc? Maybe he's teeth hurt?
Teeth may have to be trimmed.
Hope I helped <3

He is over 2 years old, possibly nearly 3 a very big pig. Alot bigger than previously owned pigs who have passed on.
Ive tried apple tree sticks, chew toys from pet shops he plays he has a quick nibble then never touches them again.
he eats his pellets and hard veg fine and has no difficulties or squeaks in pain.
His teeth dont need trimming or anything

He doesnt show any signs of being ill. He is all happy as larry, popcorns when hay arrives, eats, drinks, demands breakfast. stares at you if you leave the kitchen like saying "wheres my food?"

I just think he has an attitude problem and needs discipline every time he bites.
 
Maybe :)
All pigs are different so maybe he's just the nibbling type lolxx
Glad he's all healthy.
Post pics if possible!
I can't unfortunately my browser disentangle allow it :)
