Help with pigs

I have had my 2 pigs since September. At first they loved to be held now when ever I go to pick them up the wheek and run away from me. Does anyone have suggestions on how to make them more comfortable around me?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Help with pigs

During floor time maybe you could sit down with them and just let them get used to you. And something that seems to work with my pigs is letting them get used to my hand in their cage, for food, cleaning, etc. If you let them interact with you from where they feel safe, I think they will get a lot more used to being around you and a lot more comfortable with your presence.

And remember, veggies are the surest and fastest way to a piggy's heart.
