We have two lovely boys who we have had for about a month.
While Monty is extremely friendly and always runs to the front of the cage to say hello, Dylan is a very scared pig who runs away to hide whenever we even go near the cage. He will come and take food from our hand but then scurries back to his pigloo as fast as he can.
We always take them out for their run together and then when it comes to laptime, Monty loves to be stroked and cuddled (usually falling asleep in the process) while Dylan seems petrified. We tend to give them some veg which he's happy with but then after it's gone he just sits and does these little constant squeaks. I've looked on sites advising what different sounds mean and I'm sure this is a sign that he is scared. When I try and hold him and comfort him he just wants to get away..Am I best to leave him or should I persevere? Don't want to stress him out..
