So, the little black and white one we got was perfect.... a sweetheart, calm, easy to catch (pretty much just let ya pick him up) BUT...
then i read he should have a friend, so i decided to go ahead and get one of his littermates the very next day - COMPLETE OPPOSITE!!
extremely skittish, not that food oriented as far as trying to use it for bonding, and hard to catch, but the bad part is that he's rubbed off on his brother ...the first, once calm, pig ... is now hard to catch as well
once you do catch them they are pretty sweet, will lay in your lap and both of them like to curl up on the neck under the hair and hide/lay there and be petted ... they make somewhat of a quieter birdie chirping noise and im not real sure if that's good or bad but they are well behaved (except they pee on me!!)
any ideas on how long/if ever it might take for them to stop being quite so skittish and anything i can do to speed up the process at all?
both of them are very sweet, just wish they weren't so terrified :eye-poppi
