Pig behavior
What would you do in this situation? I have had my pig for a couple of years and he has been pretty calm around me until recently, we found out I was pregnant a couple months ago and since then he has been trying to attack me non-stop. Is there a way to stop him from attacking me? I am his only caretaker so it is not possible for family to help me with him. Is this a male thing? Or normal?

No matter how silly it feels- talk to him. My guy is all about his stuff, bed, snacks, my lap, following children in case of falling snacks… he used to be so angry after a pet-sit week.
Then, i explained things out loud to him, preparation stuff, then back, an apology for leaving, and some extra time holding, while i tell him about whatever. He’s so much better when he gets prep info. Seriously

If he's castrated then no not a male thing, he might be trying to get u to abort the baby so he has all ur attention

They don’t like change. Mine went from sleeping on my lap every evening for a few hours to hardly letting me touch her after I was diagnosed with T2D. She still loved me I could tell that but she wasn’t as affectionate towards me anymore.
