many dont like to be held, lol remeber they are prey animals they are going to run when a giant creature comes down to grab them, thats the way they see it. they will get used to being held and will calm down after a while, but it is unlikley that they will ever stop running away when you try to catch them. I amnot saying its not possable, a few piggies do eventually start enjoying being picked up, but ut does not happen all that often when did ya get piggies anyway? lol I have been gone for 3 weeks and obviously missed something

guineapiggie13 I have piggies name smudge and patch to lol and my smudge looks almost exactly like yours
