Food Noise

[bamby71994]

My pig will not settle down, which is fine. What bothers me is when I hold him he will not stop making the food noise. Is there a way to make him stop?

Maybe I am just dumb for not know... but can you explain what the food noise is?

Are you talking about him wheeking?

Its a loud wheeking noise that they do before they get food.

One of mine did that when I first got her. She was a little baby. We didn't know but she was only about a month old. I made her a little material bag to sit in while she was on my lap. It made her feel much better. A tissue box or a kitchen towel may work just as well. Mine was just scared and calmed down after a week or two. Giving her bits of veggie while I was holding her helped too.
Does your pig seem scared or in pain?

I don't want him to rely on the bag or blanket. He is scared.
