Re: Biting Pig
I would certainly try the vinegar. It wouldn't hurt him.
Did his previous family give him up, because of his biting? You said in your post that you adopted him 3 weeks ago.
If the vinegar doesn't work, then next thing I would try, is blow in his face. It again wouldn't hurt him.
It really does make life easier for them, and for us - if they learn to co-operate. If he gets sick, and you have to hand feed him, that will be hard to do when you're trying to not get biten. So, it is in his best interest to learn to be a good boy.
HINT - I've also noticed that when Brown Sugar doesn't like something, he will start grinding his teeth, on my lap. If I'm patting him when he doesn't like it, grinding his teeth is a way of warnng me. "If you dont' quit that, I'm filing up my razor sharp teeth now!"
So good luck with Oscar's training, I know down deep inside, that he's a sweetheart, waiting to show you love! Keep us updated on his progress!
