| Re: Skittish pig
My pigs have never been really comfortable with floor time. It's a huge scary world out there, you know. I give them lots of things to explore, so they skitter from hidey house to shoebox to cereal-box-tunnel.
Also I put little bits of hay and carrot here and there to encourage them to get off their little butts.
In her cage, try crumpling up newspaper for her to crawl around under. I do that for my pigs every few days, and leave it there for an hour or so. They LOVE it.
One last thing -- reach into her cage and give her some petting as often as possible, without picking her up.
(do you have a big fun c&c cage yet?) |
