What works for one person and pig does not always work for someone else. I've done the towel trick in the past, and it has worked - the pig at least slows
down enough that they can be captured. Catching pigs is an art - it takes practice.

Yes. It is normal. They may always run away from you when you try to catch them, depending on their personalities.

My new girl Athena enjoys running and she doesn't really interact with me on the floor. Cinnamon will come over to me, lick my toes and hop back into his
cage if he is thristy, hungry, etc. They both have different personalities and maybe trying a couple different tricks will help them come to you. Carrots is
Cinnamons favorite and that's how I got him to go back into his cage and come out.
