Not Ranked. Helpful AND tactful post? : 0 Re: I just built a new C&C cage for my pigs..they don't like it?? | | I think in order for them to feel safe with the environment you introduce, they have to be first feel safe with you!
It can also occur like that: to be trusting the environment first then the owner...
but they will feel secure & happy (popcorn) when that trust & safe feeling is established.
It can also differs from piggy to piggy. If you have a herd with a very untrusting pig at lead, most likely it will reflect onto the lesser pig.
I know that my pigs trusts me. They popcorn for me when I first introduce them to their home (after an initial curiosity period of course).
I have also build a second C&C (2 X 5) condo for my pig in the second floor of my home for when I clean out the bottom level / just a change of scenery or what ever (it was originally meant for a new adopt that just died even before introducing to the herd; was ready and I did not take it down), so they have an extra set-up to play in (just finished a couple days ago, that room does not have light so I can't really take a good pic with my cell). They pop-corn in that one too.
They love floor time. Now they always pop-corn the minute I let them loose! That is a joy to see! |
