Always biting
My baby hog is so bitey 😭 and i know they’re notoriously sassy but he RARELY hisses or bluff strikes and he’s never played dead. I got him two weeks ago and I’ve only handled him when absolutely necessary (moving him too clean his water, and transferring him into his cage) but every time, without a doubt he’ll decide to munch on me. Even after I lather myself in hand sanitizer so I don’t smell appetizing. The first two times I pushed a little on his nose and he let go immediately but this last time I was wearing a bite proof glove in anticipation and he hung on for like 10 minutes! Today is feeding day so idk if that’s why? Even reaching in there to move him he wasn’t hissy and was just looking around but as soon as I got him up he latched on. I tried pushing in his nose and putting a swab of rubbing alcohol by his nose but he didn’t give up. He’s very good at eating and has eaten his food within 5 minutes of me putting it in the cage but I think the pinkies are a little small so I’m moving him to fuzzies next week.
Is he just dumb? Is he hungry all the time? Is it a defence mechanism? How can I prevent him from biting me!!
