Well, I would give him a perventative treatment, but the vet said he's clean as can be and also the rescue would treat him on a regular basis because he was a resident piggy and they didnt want to risk him getting and mites. When I picked him up they had just treated him a few days before I believe they said. He has never scratched his skin, his hair is perfectly intact and I checked over his body and theres nothing. Im pretty positive mites etc isnt the problem. If I try all the other strategies and he still nips then Ill get some Ivermectin for him. By the way, where exactly can I pick that up? But Im thinking it may be more related to trauma than anything else.
As far as being innocent, oh my lord does he fake it so well! His cute little face, you'd never guess that hes such a little stinker sometimes. For instance, I had him down on his little play mats for floor time. I had one large potty pad setting down at one end of the cage and the rest he was free to run around and munch on veggies. When I put him down, I said "Oscy, please tinkle on the white square" not that he really knew what that meant. But when he finally did go, he wattled his little tooshy to the complete opposite side of the potty pad and went. I knew he was getting ready to go so I kept putting him on the potty pad but no, he would keep running at the complete opposite end until finally I just gave up.
I have some pictures I have to post of him in his cuddle cup. He has the most angelic look, no one would ever suspect that he chases after the dog in his spare time
