Hello, I am a 12yo two 4 weeks old boars ( Percy and Cupcake) owner, call me Ava ( had them for almost 2 weeks, they're not fully tamed but rarely eat from my hand and walk around the cage sometimes). I had to seperate them like 8 days ago because Cupcake got a fungus and Percy attacked him till blood was drawn. Cupcake is getting medication but still is not healed. I seperated them with a wooden board because I did not have grids, they're very hard to obtain in Lithuania. Cupcake kept climbing over the tall peace of wood multiple times when my mom seperated them agian for a few times so she removed the board today. To know more details read my other tread witch's link I'll add as a reply. I was picking them up seperatly after 1 day. I started to wonder "if what I am doing is gonna affect me/them when I'll start to try and tame them"? I know what I am doing is wrong but it's really hard to contain myself from doing that because they're soooooooo cute and fluffyyyyyy.

Percy is somethimes biting me when I hold him, I started to asume that he's only doing that out of fear.... that didin't make sence because he ate out of my hand, that's very brave of him... hes the braver boar, back to the bithing thing... so after that I decided to do some digging on other and this sites. I found out that he doesn't know that I'm the one in charge and advised the other person with this problem to speak to her/his guinea pig in a soft loving tone. I talked to him in my hands and gave him a cucumber, put hay in the cage so he wuld see that I'm the one providing the food and I know he saw it because he started wheeking when i opened the hay bag.

I have watched youtube tame videos but since I did things not acording to the instructions and there are two piggys I don't really know what to do.
