Oh thank god! That is just horrible!! Congrats on your new piggy! I fostered a "biter" pig before. She came from a home where they said she consistently drew blood from them and even their kids. I gave her alone time for about 24 hours and then proceeded to hold her. The first time she nipped my finger a little bit, I just pulled it away and kept holding her calmly while petting her. She tried to nibble a bit a few times here and there but she never once drew blood from me or my family members. I say this because I think it is likely that this "biting pig" you rescued was just scared or uneasy because they weren't treating/holding him properly. He learned that if he bit down on their fingers, they would leave him alone and put him down.

Just be patient, make him feel safe and secure, and hold him lots! Good Luck and so glad you saved him from potential snake food!

Haha oops! Typo! I actually have no idea why I wrote piggy! I guess I had my piggy story on my mind so wrote "piggy" I figured the same principle applies for the most part, no? Show him kindness and don't let him 'win' when he bites by putting him down. hehe Anyways, best of luck to you and the HAMMY haha
