Re: Are my Hogs underweight?

Maybe the non feeding and colder climate (They do notice even if you keep them warm enough) got him to brumate. When taken out of it could take them a while to start eating again, raising temp slightly helps usually. A year and a half is early for sexual maturing but definetly not unheard of or odd, could be a factor. I bought a hog that was still in the fridge when I picked him up, took almost a month before he became active. Another 2 weeks before actually foraging and eating. I can drop it in and he'll eat it at some point. Sometimes takes up to a whole day but eventually it's gone, just have to put it somewhere I know he passes by. Not all hogs like to be teased with food, some just need to be near it long enough. There's still a bunch of things to try, don't worry too much.
