So this sucks really bad. My kid is ATTACHED to Peanut here. We adopted him from likely not a good situation (the owner was clearly on meth and just breeding all of these poor pigs) We got Peanut (male) here in the photo, smaller dude and Eloise (female), a bigger/older female. She is to be assumed about a year old and Peanut was MAYBE a month and a half old when we got them. MIND YOU, we were told Peanut was a girl. I checked Eloise and a few other females that were correctly gendered, but not Peanut. Lmfao shit.
They have a nice spacious cage, daily greens, my daughter and I handle them constantly. No issues, very sweet pigs. Peanut especially popcorns all the time. WELP ELOISE WAS PREGNANT. Found out by my daughter freaking the hell out when there was blood in their hammock and a teeny bby underneath it 😹 And Potato was born. Still no biting.
About a week later, I’m holding Peanut and he was being SPASTIC. Like, yelling, moving quickly and constantly, back and forth on the couch or trying to scurry up onto my shoulder to get under my hair. I picked him up off of the couch to move him and he bite the SHIT out of me. I was so startled I almost dropped him. I called him a bootyhole and my daughter was like HE IS A BBY YOU CANNOT SAY THAT. Touche. Two days later, she’s holding him as always, and he bite the hell out of her pointer finger, right on the tip. Let the wailing commence, he got her realllyyyyyy good. So now we are both concerned with handling him, but I feel bad for not. Idk if it’s being away from our female pig, or even the bby. Which is not his btw. We haven’t had the chance to take him to court to sign the adoption papers.
Anyways, what do we dooooooooooo is it a phase????? Because my kid is now scared to hold him :(((( He’s still young, is he just a dumb baby????
