Hello, this is Marvin(a girl piggie), I just got her a week ago and she's young. I've made some pretty big steps in bonding with her, she lets me pet her now! By sitting in front of her cage, talking and resting my hand by her. But she only lets me pet her when she's half hiding, I'm pretty sure she isn't uncomfortable because she coos and purrs at me when I pet her. When she's half hiding I can't even try to pick her up properly and I need to soon so I can get to cleaning. When she's in the open and I try to touch her, she runs away
If anyone has any tips or anything to help; I've heard of the towel trick, but I don't understand how that works if I can't even get her in my hands to put on a towel. Thanks in advance to any replies!
Also, she doesn't sleep in her igloo, she just snuggles between it and the wall(the spot she's at in the picture), does that mean she doesn't like it and would like something different? If she really doesn't like the igloo thing, then I'd like to get something else that doesn't take up so much room.
