LitleMermaid   10 #241 Posted March 10, 2011 brownie mine are exactly the same-even William and Jack, and I've never know tamer pigs then them!  As far as I know it's something to do with the fact that in the wild they are prey for pretty much everything Especially birds so maybe try going in from the side of the cage if you usually go in from the top?  Don't worry about it though, I've never known a pig not do this. William and Jack run and hang out of the cage for a fuss when I open the door, but struggle when I try and pick them up, even though they love it once they are out and on my lap!

*Peaches* Â Â 10 #246 Posted March 13, 2011 It all depends on the characters of the boars, I generally stick to pairs its safer, but I have had groups of 4/5 before now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
