some like to cuddle and some dont. some will run to the front of the cage to be picked up, but many will run away. you do have to remeber that they are prey animals, so a big creatur scopping them up is gonna make them run lol while they can live alone, its better if they are in pairs, females are better in groups then males. they do need a rather large cage, most petstore cages are rather small, expessally for the price, but you can build a C&C cage that would be 3-4 times the size for half the price lol coroplast is only $13CDN here and the cubes are $10-20 depending on where you go. they do need hay, and pellets not that mix with seed and junk in it because they are not good for piggies and seeds can cause them to choke. they also need veggies the darker green the better for Vit. C.

back on the cuddling once you are holding the piggie they will usually cuddle, like they will sit on your lap for a while, but there are piggie that are more cuddly then others. for example a few of mine love to cuddle and others will scream and kick if you try to cuddle them.
