I really wish that my piggy dizzy would be tame. I've done as much as I could trying to tame her, but she's still not tame. Sometimes she won't come out of her igloo and she will move it around just to get her food. She ahd been with me for 6 months, and I know they need time. Are there any other taming tips that could help me?

You may have already tried this but the way that I used to "tame" my Piggy's was to have a set routine of hand feeding them a slice of cucumber. I would feed 2 times a day; one in the morning and one in the evening, each time I would hold a piece of cucumber in my hand near their mouth or house for a couple of minutes until they took it. If they did not take it I would just put it near them gently. With every pig I ever had (I used to breed) within a month to a year they would be taking food from my hand and running to the front of the cage. I only had one issue with one stubborn piggy which took a little more tender, love and care. I would have her sit on my lap and hand feed her grass etc ever time it was meal time. (We all know they cannot say no to grass) eventually she warmed up too but it did take a long while, about a year +. Some Piggy's are a little more stubborn then others; I think the most important thing is to not get up, keep preserving and have a routine of handling and feeding. I.e. Be more stubborn then they are!
