QuestionI have a 6 month old miniature pot belly pig, he is very affectionate and loves being in anyones laps and getting belly rubs. the problem is that he is very bossy when he is being pet and if you aren't doing it right he nips, he hasn't broken skin on anyone but i am worried that when he is bigger his bites will start to leave marks. I am unsure how to discipline him since i have only had dogs before, is there any tips you can give me for what to do when he bites?
AnswerHello,
When piglets are still with their siblings and mother when they bite they get bit back.
You can't bite your piglets but you should react fast and automatically just like as if he were still with his pig family. A sharp tap on the nose and a loud voice would be appropriate.
Hope this helps,
Patty
