Snapping Piggie

[Ellbell]

Hello,

I dont know if anyone can see my link, but its a video of my snapping Piggie Pip. She is roughly 12 weeks old and very outgoing.
She has always been very loud but recently while she is being held she is popcorning in my arms more then usual and snapping to bite while being pat. She also makes lots of squeaks and talking while doing this over and over. She isnt very friendly towards her sister and snaps at her. I'm worried this is the start of some bad behaviour. Does anyone have some advice on why she would be doing this?

Your girl is simply telling you what she doesn't like. She is now familiar enough with you to do so. She is also a very dominant girl.
