It is generally true. But I think it is very rash of you to give up your pig because it is scared of you. Have you treated them for mites? How long have you had them? What kind of cage do you keep them in? When you handdle them do you wash your hands first? Hold them in a dim quiet place? Do you handle them gently? Many people here have adopted older guinea pigs (including me) who are not used to human contact and had aggression problems. They have to learn to trust you. I think a big problem is that you are putting them down or stop trying to pick them up when they "go to bite you" they know if they act like that they will get what they want which is to be left alone. Animals can sense when you fear them. Handle them with confidence and they will know it. I have yet to be bitten hard by any of my pigs. My two girls that I adopted were never handled before I adopted them and they are almost two. Others have seen more drastic turn arounds. It is your responsibility as a pet owner to love your pig no matter what problems it has.
