    As far as l know it's a healthy one @Logan4, just a little on the small side. This is one of 8 different arrivals yesterday alone.

    Thank you @AnniD for letting me know and hope that they all do well.
  • I haven't seen the adult hogs for about two months now, but I am still putting food out in smaller amounts as it is still slowly going.
    Last night I found out why. I have a baby hog coming. It is not much bigger than my fist, so not sure if it will survive the winter, but at least I can give it a chance by winter feeding.🦔

    Do you have a local rescue that you can check with @purplerallim ? (Apologies if you've said before). 
    Even though it's not coming out in the daytime it does sound extremely small for this time of year and l wiuld be very concerned about its survival. 
  • It appeared to be coping at the moment  @AnniD ,and no the local rescue has closed along with the local vet, so no nearby help anymore. Even the rescue I have been to before is 30 miles away ( I don't drive) and has stopped collecting hogs,  so it would be difficult to get help. I will try my best to keep it going overwinter.

    If you get really concerned, you could try contacting the BHPS, they are always very helpful  :)
