So recently, as my Pig Sebastian becomes more comfortable with me, he has began nibbling. Not HARD but not very gentle, say as if test biting either. He is very sweet, and trusts me very much. He wont run and hide like my new Pig Archie when I enter the room. He will wheek when he hears me come down the stairs and wheeks for attention or food when he sees me. He loves being pet and scratched, and will lay down and stretch his body out when I pet him and purr like mad. He also has become comfortable enough that I have caught him napping, and even sleeping with his eyes shut. I have had him since July 11th, and he will be three months on the 20th (his given birthday by me is June 20th, since who knows when it actually is). But whenever I hold him, or put my hand in yhe age he will bite it like he wants to eat it, lol. My other pig Archie, bites as well. But he is younger than Sebastian, and I also discovered his foot is injured (a cage mage wound by the looks of it, since he is smaller and definatly not an alpha male) from his previous home, so I have stopped handling him till it heals. Sebastian has only ever bitten one other person apart from me, who was handeling him wrong. He has been handled by children (under supervison) and didnt bite. It does not appear aggressive at all, but it has scared me into holding him with a peice of fleece since I know Guinea Pigs dont usually bite and I want to find out if it can/will turn aggressive.
Sebastian is not unhealthy, and is not living in poor condtions where he or Archie could be bored, or have no toys, hay, ect.
Thanks in advance.
(didnt mean to list in Popcorning, was meant to be put under Biting but I am on my cell and must have miss-clicked!)
