Hi –
We have found here over the last 2 years that they seem to appear more often when the conditions aren’t right for natural food. The same hog might come back 3 times during the night when the ground is hard.
We have tried to make natural food for them too.
A mini log pile is rotting down nicely and seems to be providing something they like. We have left all the fallen leaves, twigs etc to produce natural food and the trail footage is full of creepy crawlies.
We use ARK food- I buy in 10KG packet and share with my friend 6 doors down.
So we reduce the amounts slightly when there are good natural HH food conditions and increase when there aren’t.
We want to help but not make them lazy or dependant on the food.
Good luck with all the different foods.
