Han is on his way to win the award for Grumpiest Piggie Ever
I just keep loving on him and his cage mate (Chewy, who follows Han's lead, so if Han is tooth chattering, Chewy will follow suit) but they're rescues so their trust levels are low/non-existent. And for every step forward, we take a step back... He was eating from my hand last week, this week he's running away and chattering at me.
I know there's no way to predict taming, but for those who have had rescues, how long did it take them to start trusting you? We're at week 4, and he's getting grumpier and grumpier with us! (he's starting to nip during lap time, so we backed off on lap time and picking him up unless necessary... plus he pees on me everytime I pick him up).
Picture of him trying to kill me with his eyes, because he knew I'd have to pick him up to clean his cage. So. Much. Teeth. Chattering!
