When I was "taming" mine (Jeep, Layza & Nelly B), I did the following. I put a child's sand pail in the cage on its side. Of course, the piggies loved it and would often just sit in it. I would approach the cage at face level (so I wasn't over and intimidating) and whisper to them and say their names and give them small amounts of treats. Slowly I would pick up the bucket (not too fast, they might jump out when your picking it up and hurt them). Then I would go to the couch, lay down and put the bucket on my stomache. Eventually they come out and I just let them walk all over me, sniff me, lay on me whatever they were comfortable with. After a month or so, it seemed to work (except Jeep-she was a little pig in a pet store all alone and I felt bad for her..I don't know if they treated her badly but, it's been a year and a half and she still doesn't like being touched that much...Good luck to you, and I hope this helps.
