  Not Ranked. Helpful AND tactful post? : 0
Hi everyone, I need some help with a little problem that I am having with my pig. Charlie Brown is about 2 months old. He is very shy inside his cage but once out and on my lap he is a real cuddlebum. He will stretch out and likes to be patted from his nose down. He loves it. The problem is whenever a finger comes within range of his mouth he will bite. It had been getting progressively harder until last night when OUCH! he broke skin. I desperately need some advice about where to go from here. My female, Sybil Tribble, is the complete opposite. She always comes over to the edge of her cage for a pat and always licks and nibbles gently. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cassie       |

My George is a "nibbler" but he has never been anything but gentle with it. It's kinda his way of saying hello. Good luck, Marie |
