Hi! I'm new here and new to Guinea Pigs! I just bought my first pig a few days ago. He's slowly warming up to us. Although he stays in his house 99% of the time and doesn't like coming out. I hold him for several hours each day and give him fruit and veggies, while I hold him. How long does it take for a pig to adjust? I'm worried that he may have a shy personality and that we won't be able to fully enjoy his company. Do most pigs act this way? Also, he "tasted" and bit my finger the other day (not aggressively), which concerns me, since I thought the didn't bite at all. My hand may have smelled like food. Is this normal? I just want to make sure we got a pig with a friendly personality. We have 15 days to take him back and get another one, if necessary. Any advice?
Thank you!
