So I've had three boars since mid June of 2017, they're probably about 9 months old. I was hoping to get tips with bonding with 2 of my pigs. One of them is super timid and still won't walk up and beg for food, he'll at most stretch from a safe distance so I feel he would be happiest if left alone. As for my two other piggies, here's the daily routine.
In the morning before work I refill their hay rack. It drives them bananas lol they'll run around and popcorn like crazy lol I refill their hay when I get home and sometimes slip them some carrots. Now my pigs aren't terrified of me, the 2 braver ones will come up to me in the cage and sniff and nibble me. However when floor time comes around, I set up their pen. It's not much bigger than the cage, and we mostly use it to get them running and hopping on and off a pig bed and feed them while their cage is spot cleaned. The pigs know when I'm coming to pick them up and they HATE it. They lately have started chattering like furry maracas. They squirm a lot and try to suicide jump from my arms. Lately we have started putting their couch on my lap and give them food and petting them, however once their food is eaten, they start trying to burrow or escape. Do my pigs not like touching? I understand I haven't probably been doing enough lap time lately but I'm afraid they just don't like spending time with me. They don't let us pet them unless they're in our laps, when they have no choice
