Ari-
Hi! I think you are doing great with your piggies. The pics of the cage look good & the piggies are adorable! My vet said piggies should have 1/8 cup of pellets every day. So double that since you have 2 piggies. They will always want more pellets & treats. They are like people- they want what is tasty! I'm interested to read more of your blog. It is interesting. As far as the piggie letting you hold them, it takes time, sometimes alot of time, before some piggies will trust you enough to let you pick them up or snuggle them. Just keep working with them. If your cage has a front opening use that instead of the top opening. Piggies are prey animals so something coming in over top of them can be scary. Pet them first & then gently try to scoop the piggie up in both hands. If they refuse don't chase them around as this will scare them more. Give it a few minutes & try again. They should eventually come around. It takes time & patience. I enjoyed seeing you
piggies! If you have anymore questions don't hesitate to ask. Take care!
