[Gpdd] Behavior: Saga of two biting pigs

[Algernon07 at aol.com]

     My Wilson (wonderful little guy that he was) tended to nip from an early 
age -- like 3 wheeks! I actually began to wear a sweatshirt (to protect my 
arms from a nip as well as to demonstrate that his tactics didn't faze me!   :)) 
  during the cool/cold season as much to keep him from nipping as from the 
temperature.
     He never quit but used it as a signal of needing (potty time) or wanting 
to be put down. He'd start with very gentle nips (as he grew a bit older) and 
escalate if he didn't get put down. To complicate things, Wilson loved me, 
but he never outgrew using nipping as a means of "communicating."
     If nothing else, I sympathize!
