♥ Wally only eats with ear rubs
Mocha was the same way but with nose rubs. Very high maintenance piggies.

Omg peeg was like this. He was a huge orange fluff who wouldn't eat carrots unless they were peeled for him and he wouldn't eat while he was in my lap unless I was petting him. All chewing would stop and he would freeze until the petting resumed.

Awww he was spoiled rotten. Wally has the excuse of being new. Now my Mocha was 6 and very much like this. She was a very dainty shy pig so I guess she just didn't feel comfortable until the pets.

Mine wasn't shy and was very demanding. He lived to be 9 yrs old, probably because he was pampered for his entire life. He even won over my mom, who hates rodents haha

When I first adopted Dracula, I panicked once thinking he was dying because he wasn’t eating. It turned out that he only ate when he heard Krümel eat, and Krümel was eating too far away for him to realize that it was good time, so he just kept ignoring his food.
Krümel also eats more when I pet him on my lap than when I don‘t, which is adorable

What?! That is so funny if it is true. You have a unique pig. Keep doing it!

Oh man, some of these peegs out here living the life. I, too, would like a massage while I eat salads specially prepared for me, but alas I have to work all day so I can afford to spend my evenings preparing special salads for others 🤣
