Vanan, my hogs don't get held at all.. They are all face grabbers, possibly the result of keeping them in a rack system, which only opens for one reason(food). That tray even moves a wisker, and those things are right pushing their snouts at the crack...I've had mine leap right out of the trays with their mouths open.. They chomp me, hooks , gloves whatever is there they'll bite it, even water bowls
I have been bitten by H. nasicus several times, but I get them off damn fast, and have never had any reaction at all...
I treat them with respect however and simply avoid handling them. I use hooks and gloves occasionally but I generally just give them a mouse, then move them when their mouths are full
