Djem ....

Djem was purchased from a petshop and is thought to be around 18months old . He has being past around till Gill took him in . He is a known biter and did bite Helen twice yesterday meaningful bites too . He is very huffy but i also think with Helen he will come around .. Helen did not put him back until he had settled down a little .
He loved the wheel last night ..

Djem ... annointing over my floor ...x

Froth face .x

what a cutie... i know helen will work her magic with him xxx

he is a stunner, can biting be over come by lots of handeling? or is it something that will always be there?

A lot of it will be down to not been handling but Gill did say that he tends to bite if you go to stop him from doing something - like munching on the carpet - a blow in the face usually stops him - to be fair, i have had far grumpier hoggies, Burdock Growler and Fabio and i am pretty sure he will come to an understanding with me - as lou says, my hands are like leather so a little nip will not kill me but i have assured gill that if i think he may be prone to biting, he will remain with me on a permanent basis.

He is safe and sound at home - survived the car journey, rather proud as I knocked another ten minutes off my journey - 2.5 hours in total - at a steady 70 mph!!!

I had such a fab time .... book me in for April .x

Well Djem has decided that he likes my food, cleared his chicken and peas last night and then partied on through the night.

He was on the sofa with me last night, he is really quick to come out of a ball when you leave him to it - the only problem is that my sofa got more bites than me!!

He is very huffy when you lift him out but will unball in three/four minutes and then you have to watch your hands - hopefully, with some stubborness on my part he will realise that he will be OK - stunningly beautiful boy and will get updated photos of them both tomorrow.

He must have had a terrible life to be a repetitive biter .. he couldn't be with anyone better if you can't turn him around no one can x

His new nickname is Gnasher!!

Seriously though, he is one handsome boy and he is no worse than Fabio so fingers crossed x

poor pog, he must really dont trust humans...

I think its a trust issue too , and a lack of handling .. I am sure he will be fine x

he looks a sweet little lad, i hope with lots of handling and love he comes round xxx

He will, very early days with him as with any rescue - takes time and patience in these cases

Aaaaaah Djem is a little diamond. I really do feel for him.

xoxox

Awww Djem is gorgeous, he couldn't be in better hands now xx

Laura has been over to visit me earlier today, showed her some of my hoggies, Blossom, Daisy Duke, Boss Hog, Milligan, even my pregnant Hollie - all were very well behaved - get Djem out to basically show people the difference between a well socialised hog and one that has not been socialised and got a nice set of teeth imprints on my fingers to show for it - my shirt buttons were particularly good and also the chain on my necklace - he is coming out quicker each time he is out but I do feel that the biting is imprinted now - feel so very very sad for him at the moment - hopefully, we will come to an understanding that he will allow us to handle him but he will not become a cuddle hog

oh poor djem... im sure he is a lovely boy really, just has a few funny ways! xxx

awww poor little guy..hopefully he will realise that you love him and stop biting you. x

Hope so - think i will be adopting this little man

Awww i think that is fantastic Helen at least even if he isn't over handled he will have a well fed diet and good life with you x

Awwww poor little man maybe it his way of kissing you lol

Would prefer a lick tayer!!
