Fantastic advice! I was starting to realize my piglet was nipping at my hands whenever he saw me and I only now realized I've been conditioning him to think there's always food in my hand! Guess I'll start dropping his treats instead
Wowwww! Thanks for this video. I hand fed my piglets thinking it was making them friendlier… but the biting is out of control now it almost scared me today.
Thank you so much! I have a lot of learning to do. It makes perfect sense, and very helpful video to teach me how to teach our new potbelly pig not to bite
I just got a new pig and I am extremely new.. this is EXTREMELY helpful.. mine likes to bite me (only dealing food, giving or wants food) I don't feed out of my hand.. he is only 6 weeks old but I want to get it taken care.. 😊
@@autumnacresminipetpigs why I'm trying to learn as much as possible and get it nipped now.. how can I tell the difference between him jumping up to be loved on or being dominant as well.. I try to not let him jump up at all because Im not sure and don't want to be giving in to possible bad behavior... I really appreciate your videos as well.. Thank you!! ❤️🥰
So good to know, I just got my 8 month old today and he’s tried biting me a couple times but I think previous owners accustomed him to the word “no” since he did listen when I said it
Oh wow!!! Thank you for working hard to help animals in need! ♥️ I love to donate my Preparing for a New Piglet Course to rescues and sanctuaries. Send me an email and I will send you the link for free. AutumnAcresminipetpigs@gmail.com Fostering a feral piglet is a huge job. How is it going?
@@autumnacresminipetpigs so far it's going great, I am in love and I'm a foster failure. I officially adopted my boy. I still take him to work with me everyday so he can be a piggy and be outside but he goes home every night and sleeps with my 7 year old. He uses pee pads and so far is amazing. Thank you for responding, I'm new with piggies and need all the advice I can get :)
I have a 4 week old piglet and he likes to bite in the face. I usually pop him in the face and put him in his play pen. Do you think your method would work?
I am not a fan of bottle feeding. Piglets tend to aspirate. I have lost several little ones due to pneumonia from aspiration. Pan feeding seems to be the best but it can be a challenge to teach. Are they squealing to call their mom? Or maybe because they are hungry? I would put a stuffed animal in there for them to root on and cuddle with. I have a few tips for caring for underaged piglets. Let me know if you’d like me to share them with you.
@@autumnacresminipetpigs theres 6 of them, they’re 2 days old and theyll squeal and grunt when hungry, but while being held to feed they seem to get really upset. Theyll eat between the screaming and when theyre full they pee on you and we set them back into their pen for their nap. Lol
@@autumnacresminipetpigs but yes as the only experience i have with rearing babies, include cows, lamb, humans, birds, even opossums i can do, but piglets are new to me 😆😆
Great video. I adopted a mini pig a few weeks ago. Help. My dog looks sad. They used to play but now the dog avoids the pig. The dog is 8 years old. The pig just turned 11 weeks and is becoming more bold.
This is so common. Pigs will pick on a dog because they are trying to establish dominance. Make sure they are always supervised and stand up for your dog if he won’t stand up for himself. Try spritzing the pig with a water bottle when he picks on the dog.
My piglet is about a week old and mom squished litter so she's the only 1 left. We decided to take the lone ranger. We are having trouble teaching to pan fees, any suggestions? Also been bitten a time or 2, would like to nip that in the bud. Doesn't appear to be biting regarding food. Working on potty training too. Open to any suggestions.
I just adopted an 9 month old mini pig. We have had her for 2 weeks now. She has started to be more aggressive and try to bite my kids feet and has attempted to bite my son when he was only petting her. I'm the primary person who feeds her, but I can tell she will be more aggressive at times. Does this technique also work with older mini pigs? She is generally very sweet. I'm starting to suspect this is the reason her former owner gave her up for adoption. The former owner was a young lady and stated she would be going off to college and therefore could not keep her any longer. Do you think having her spayed would also help with aggressive behavior?
This is very common and a huge reason why people rehome their pig. Change is very stressful for a pig. They don’t like it. That being said, I don’t use this technique with older pigs. I prefer to figure out why they are biting in the first place. I actually have a membership group where I shared a video on the reasons for this behavior. Here is the link so you can check it out: www.autumnacresminipetpigs.com/support-group-subscription/ Knowing why it is happening is the first step in knowing how to stop it. I also offer personal consultations. Let me know if I can help!!
The best thing to do is to make sure that the piglet you buy was never given up by it's first owner. If you buy a pig that was abandoned by it's owners, that leaves a lot of emotionally scars in the animal and the piglet loses it's trust and becomes in distress. It can be very difficult to help a pig heal and to get it to trust you. Keep in mind that pigs can get very attached to people who adopt them. They also never liked to be left with strangers. They can bite strangers.
I got a micro pig christmas eve, he is 3 months old, not 100% on the history but he was fine until yesterday now he is basically jumping and biting, he has not been neutered but is going in the morning, I had been feeding from my hands so I will try your method. Just cant play with him tonight like I want.
SC0TT¥~H@LL that happens a lot. A piglet is an angel for the first few days until they learn their new family. Once they learn them, they have to find their place so they start bullying to see what the reaction will be. Watch my videos on aggression and you will see why this happens and how to handle it. I also put out tons of free content on Instagram. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions.
I would slightly take an adult pig over a piglet because if the piglet squeals, it might squeal to the point of biting you, just like either a dog or even a puppy would and it would hurt real bad.
Gabby k This is normal. Pigs are territorial and can lash out at strangers. They also target the weak (kids, strangers, etc.) so everyone needs to stand up to the pig. It is best if your friend corrects your pig. She can grab ahold of her snout and push her backwards off her feet. I know that it is intimidating but it should help a lot. Don’t show any fear.
So, we brought home a baby born in a barn yard. She wasn't tame. (Isn't) we can scratch her if we move slow, but if we surprise her, she bites she sort of attacks when it's feeding time and we're trying to set the ball down she'll attack your hands or your arm she hasn't been anybody hard yet but it's just my husband and I and we feel like the snout trick is great except for she moves so stinking quickly that I don't think I could get a hold of her little nose!! 🤣 She is all of 8# and quick!!
Oh yes! I totally understand! Piglets are fast so try to be ready and don’t be afraid to reach out and do a snout hold. Sometimes I have my kids wear gloves so they aren’t afraid. We even bait our piglets in order to teach them more quickly. Gloves really give us confidence that we won’t get hurt. I would LOVE to have the chance to work with your family so you can help your pig to respect all the people in her life. There are so many options although the Mastermind that begins in two weeks will give us the best start. It is a 5 week event. One hour weekly sessions that will be recorded for future reference. I will give you weekly action steps to make lots of progress in a short period of time. Then you will get to hear what issues others have with their pigs and learn from how I help them. I am sending a link to my website that talks more about at the Mastermind is. You just have to scroll down to it. Please let me know if you have any questions. www.autumnacresminipetpigs.com/rates-and-services/
I have a Juliana pig that is about 3 months old and she just recently started to snap and bite at me. I didn’t know I shouldn’t be feeding her by hand and have been doing so since she was 2 weeks old.
She is still young. You can retrain her. Three to four months old is when my pet pig started to snap at me. Check out my video on bossy behavior and if you’d like more personal help, please go to my website and fill out a consultation form. Autumnacresminipetpigs.com
Just got a 2.5 month old pot bellied this morning, got him home and was like wait so they bite 😂oopsie so far just keeping my hands away from the chompers 😂😂
my piglets only bite when i train them: after they do the trick and I click they go mental to get the treat, and in the fury they bite my fingers while reaching for the treat in my hand. How do I stop them? i have tried one-to-one training but they still do it and the girls is really quite aggressive when reaching out for food...
This is so common. It’s like they are blinded by the opportunity to get a treat. When they bite - even on accident- grab their snout. Remember they need a reason not to bite so the grab has to be quite forceful. If you do it right, it should only take 2 or 3 times of being corrected. You can also wear some gloves so you aren’t as nervous.
I watched this when I got my pig when he was their size and about 8 months old now and he continues to almost play bite on shoes hands or anything that he can do it to really we don’t feed him by hand and I’ve since day one have grabbed him by the snout but doesn’t seem to work
You may need to grab his snout more forcefully. As our piglets get bigger, the harder they bite, the harder we grab their snouts. I will even push them backwards off their feet. This doesn’t hurt them - it’s the feeling of being out of control that they don’t like. If this doesn’t work, please contact me for a consultation. I would love to help you figure out why your pig is biting and how to stop it.
Cindy Phelps there could be a lot of things going on. Did you see my two videos on Aggression? Or my video on Bossy Behavior? If these don’t help, consider doing a consultation with me via FaceTime. Let me know and I can send you more information.
I had an incident two days ago with our boy Louie. It was scary. He is very territorial in his crate. His bowl was in there and when I reached in to get it he lost his mind. His tusk are coming in and I got stabbed. He was growling and squealing and chomping his teeth. I stood my ground and didn’t back away I had the bowl in my hands and put it between us almost up to his face to hold him back. He was pissed or scared and kept trying to bite me. We have noticed little things with him but they seem to be getting worse. He doesn’t like my husband and will chomp his teeth. grumble and sometimes lunge. I have always tried to stay on top of his behavior but I think I’ve let too many things go. So now we are diligent with him. We have 3 pigs in the house. The other two are pretty laid back
Cindy Phelps I would love to do a consult with you. They are 1 hour long by FaceTime. I charge $50. I think it could really help you. I know how scary that is!! I have been there many time.
Hmmmm... Does she bite often? Out of the blue? If so, we have more than a biting issue. She is at the age when she is starting to find her place in her “herd.” I would love to do a consultation with you. It will be so much easier for me to get to the bottom of it and help you fix it now while she is still young. Yes, pigs teeth around this age. I have gotten bit many many times in the last 17 years with the skin broken. I have never gone on meds for it. But to be sure, you would need to ask your vet or doctor. You can request a consultation at the link below. Or you can email me at Autumnacresminipetpigs@gmail.com www.autumnacresminipetpigs.com/request-a-consultaion/
I really need help I’ve been doing what you’ve been doing in the video and it’s not helping hes 6 months old and neutered I’ve had him since he was 8 weeks:( today he brought a lot of blood and I’m worried because I’m pregnant and I don’t want him hurting my baby

@@dev-gz3vn Hey, sorry it took so long for me to see this. My pigs name is waddles, he is probably approaching a year. I believe he is like 9 months. He loves going on walks in the desert. He always wants food. But over all he’s pretty good. We have a pen for him in the back yard. He does not enjoy being picked up, like all pigs. Tell me if there’s anything I should know with taking care of him.
@@WaddaDodo I cannot stress this one enough because I didn’t do this because I didn’t know and still haven’t did it yet because idk how to go about it but PLEASE get him neutered .. they will get temperamental because of that testosterone.. my pig likes to break out of things now.. jizzing on things biting on covers and everything just a lot of stuff 🤦🏽♂️😂 I just hang on because I love him Also make sure you close small spaces they are huge but can surprisingly wiggle into little spaces idk how If you have some general questions feel free I’m here
I have work at the farm and Two pigs Jules and Gem Jules usually a biter but she stops but Now Gem one of pigs getting really aggressive I believe he was abused by one of the members of the farm or volunteer he bites me hard and left a bruise on my left leg
You just need to correct your pig so they can learn manners. A pig with no manners is no fun. If you need help, please reach out to me. You can follow me on Instagram for lots more tips on how to teach your pig manners. Autumn Acres Mini Pet Pigs
Biting is very common, especially when they are afraid. Pigs are nervous with change so I would give her some time to settle in. If she is still biting, correct her the way I show in this video.
Rebecca Watson redirection helps. Give him something he is allowed to root on. It also helps if you know why he is rooting on you. Is he very young? Baby pigs root on their mom when they are hungry. But no matter what the reason is you need to stop it because it will hurt as your pig grows. You can use the same correction for biting or nudge the shoulder and say NO. Push him away from you. If you are consistent, he will stop.
Three weeks is really early to away from it’s mom. If correcting her the way I show in this video doesn’t work, please email me. We can set up a consultation and I can help you figure out how to help her calm down so she can bond with you. Autumnacresminipetpigs@gmail.com
Pigs that aren’t corrected from a young age do tend to bite. If you can begin correcting him/her now, it should get better. The younger you start, the better.
There’s like barely any bacon on the mini pigs, it would be better to buy bacon from the store then eat a mini pig, get a life bro and don’t just leave rude comments on peoples videos that are just trying to help others out.
What do I do if my pig bites me ? Come on, the answer is easy - put it in the oven and do it with slow cooking - absolutely delicious - and no more squeals, guaranteed !!
Fantastic advice! I was starting to realize my piglet was nipping at my hands whenever he saw me and I only now realized I've been conditioning him to think there's always food in my hand! Guess I'll start dropping his treats instead

Thoughts on bottle feeding? And is there anything that can be done for the squealing? Got a batch of piglets the sow didn’t care
I am not a fan of bottle feeding. Piglets tend to aspirate. I have lost several little ones due to pneumonia from aspiration. Pan feeding seems to be the best but it can be a challenge to teach.
Are they squealing to call their mom? Or maybe because they are hungry? I would put a stuffed animal in there for them to root on and cuddle with.

Do u find females will bite more then a fixed male?
Not really. It’s mostly personality and temperament. It also matters if the are unaltered. Hormones play a roll.
So I have a 4-6 month old pig but how do I grab her snout when she could bite me by doing that but she is very happy. And do pigs that age teethe
Also heard if they break skin you gotta go on meds

Hey, I'm getting a pig and I'm wondering if you could help me out. What are common diseases pet pigs can get and how do you stop them?
Go to the vet if u haven’t already they’ll tell u and give it the shots it needs
@@dev-gz3vn Thanks
@@WaddaDodo no problem, did you get it already? My pig is approaching a year and he’s a handful
@@dev-gz3vn Hey, sorry it took so long for me to see this. My pigs name is waddles, he is probably approaching a year. I believe he is like 9 months. He loves going on walks in the desert. He always wants food. But over all he’s pretty good. We have a pen for him in the back yard. He does not enjoy being picked up, like all pigs. Tell me if there’s anything I should know with taking care of him.
@@WaddaDodo I cannot stress this one enough because I didn’t do this because I didn’t know and still haven’t did it yet because idk how to go about it but PLEASE get him neutered .. they will get temperamental because of that testosterone.. my pig likes to break out of things now.. jizzing on things biting on covers and everything just a lot of stuff 🤦🏽♂️😂 I just hang on because I love him
Also make sure you close small spaces they are huge but can surprisingly wiggle into little spaces idk how
If you have some general questions feel free I’m here
I have work at the farm and Two pigs Jules and Gem Jules usually a biter but she stops but Now Gem one of pigs getting really aggressive I believe he was abused by one of the members of the farm or volunteer he bites me hard and left a bruise on my left leg
Abuse is very possible. Pigs have good memories and if they are afraid, they become aggressive.
@@autumnacresminipetpigs You should see the bruise on my leg it's big I'm glad it didn't breaks a skin
I can definitely relate. I hope my tips help!!
Hey I got bit by my pig today can it be dangerous ? It nipped me but I have bad anxiety
You just need to correct your pig so they can learn manners. A pig with no manners is no fun. If you need help, please reach out to me. You can follow me on Instagram for lots more tips on how to teach your pig manners.

I just got my pig today her name is bacon and she tries to bite but she is a very friendly pig
Biting is very common, especially when they are afraid. Pigs are nervous with change so I would give her some time to settle in. If she is still biting, correct her the way I show in this video.
I rescued a little piglet yesterday and he seems to be humping my legs and biting at the same time what could this be from ?
He needs neutered. His hormones are raging. He may also be afraid.
How to my mini pig from rotting on me?
Rebecca Watson redirection helps. Give him something he is allowed to root on. It also helps if you know why he is rooting on you. Is he very young? Baby pigs root on their mom when they are hungry. But no matter what the reason is you need to stop it because it will hurt as your pig grows. You can use the same correction for biting or nudge the shoulder and say NO. Push him away from you. If you are consistent, he will stop.
Does a mini pig taste better than a regular pig?
I wouldn’t think so. Super small! 😅
No dog meat is much better
They are so small, I doubt they are worth it.
I got 3 week old pig and all she want to do is bit my hand and legs how do i stop her from doing that she 3 weeks old
Three weeks is really early to away from it’s mom. If correcting her the way I show in this video doesn’t work, please email me. We can set up a consultation and I can help you figure out how to help her calm down so she can bond with you.

We just got a pig and it bit me on the butt when I was fixing something on the pig pen .
Pigs that aren’t corrected from a young age do tend to bite. If you can begin correcting him/her now, it should get better. The younger you start, the better.
Mine bites if I move him off of me when hes sleeping
This is very common. Watch my video on Bossy Behavior. I talk about how I handled this with my pig.
When he bite hit him or squeeze him until stop
Grab his snout for 3 or 4 seconds. Doing that several times should teach him to stop.

🤔
So peppa bites now
PIglets remind me of puppies. LOL.
Squeezing their snout could cause them to bite their tongue.
I just Blow in their eyes and say NO!
Do what i say, Not what I do
If a pig doesn't behave just eat it
Idk if I would want to eat something I spent 2,500 bucks on.
If your pig bites you sick a dog on it.
Imagine having the energy to be rude to small creators. 😅
you look like Tom Brady
Make bacon
There’s like barely any bacon on the mini pigs, it would be better to buy bacon from the store then eat a mini pig, get a life bro and don’t just leave rude comments on peoples videos that are just trying to help others out.
If your pig bites make bacon
Swat it on the snout
I don’t suggest doing that. A pig’s snout is very sensitive so flicking or swatting it isn’t a good idea.
Easy, cook it!
That's how I handle behavioral issues with children, too!
Easier, follow her advice! That an expensive meal.
What do I do if my pig bites me ? Come on, the answer is easy - put it in the oven and do it with slow cooking - absolutely delicious - and no more squeals, guaranteed !!
Damn that's dark
I use this method with children, too. Stops the biting instantly.
