If you've ever brought home a piglet or even an older pig, you may have been surprised (or alarmed!) by how dramatic they can be when handled. In this episode of The Pet Pig Podcast, Autumn explains why pigs squeal, what they're really trying to communicate, and how you can gently build trust through patience, consistency, and positive experiences. From understanding prey animal instincts to practical tips like starting with less sensitive areas, pairing touch with treats, and using calm energy, this episode will help you navigate those first interactions with confidence. Whether you're a new pig parent or just want to strengthen your bond, you'll learn how to move through this common phase and set the foundation for a trusting relationship.
