Just keep repeating it and it should stick.Or if that doesnt work you could get your pigs favorite fruit or veggie and hold it across from it and say your pigs name until it comes to you.

HOPE THIS HELPS! :)

A good way to teach your gerbil it's name is by holding a treat in your hand and call it's name once or twice. When it comes let it eat the treat If you have more than one gerbil than separate them while you train them.

Repetition - repeat your ferrets name to him, and when he visually responds, reward him with a treat. Once he responds to his name, instead of giving him a treat every time, praise him and play with him using his favorite toy Ferrets are intelligent animals, and will learn in a couple of weeks at the most. But, like humans, each individual's learning ability can be different. When picking a name for an animal, keep it short, and simple one syllable word, it's easier for them to learn. Sometimes when ferrets are exploring, they kind of focus in on something, when you call their name, they'll ignore you. My Little boy ferret, if I hear him digging or scratching on something, and I don't know where he's at, I'll call his name, he'll quit for about a minute, then go back to what he's doing.

What I did was say its name { Bella } then give her a treat when she responded. This may take some time, but she knows her name now!

Can I teach an old gerbil not to bite?

Biting is the only way a gerbil has to communicate with you that it doesn't like something. So to try and force them to stop isn't natural. Plenty of handling early on in life with gerbils from a responsible independent (not a pet store) breeder, will not result in a gerbil that bites hard or often.
