Me and Alexis are beginning to bond and me and Alex's bond is very great for them to only have been here for 1 week and a day. I groomed Alex today and it wasn't a problem. As Alexis went crazy looking for Alex, she didn't let it phase her and she laid there and relaxed like it was a mini spa day. I thought that Alexis' groomtime was going to be a headache , but i thought wrong. Alexis laid there and enjoyed her grooming time. She loved being pampered, she didn't go crazy looking for Alex. Alexis even crawled up my shirt and licked me on my nose when i was done grooming her. At one point Alexis went to sleep on me. I had a conversation with Alex and Alexis and they seemed to enjoy it.
Today i bought them a hayrack and a willow wood barbell toy. They're in love with the willow wood barbell, they haven't stopped nibbling on it ever since that have had it. Their new favorite hangout spot is , right next to the hayrack.
Im glad that every thing is starting to shape up. It feels so good to see Alex and Alexis improve.

See. Time and patience goes further than frustration and anger. They will probably still occasionally "regress" when exposed to new environments, but they will learn to trust you as long as you don't give them a reason not to.

I agree you just have to be patient! Sometimes you will just take a big step backwards with the way they behave! Today we came home from being gone all day and our piggies were totally freaked out and I have no idea why! They were in my son's room with the door closed and no one was here all day but when we came home they acted like something had been after them! They wouldn't even come out to eat their veggies! I kept talking softly to them and would get them to come to me so I could scratch their heads and now they are back to normal.

I understand now. I will just have to get use to it. We all go backwards in life
