Hi NiamsNan

Not sure if this is the one Stef was thinking of, but it contains some useful information from Vale Wildlife.

Many of us were caught out before the dangers of mealworms became more widely known, so you’re not the only one! Personally I decided not to feed them at all, because there’s no way of knowing how many they pick up from elsewhere. But it sounds as if you’ve also decided not to feed mealworms at all. Have you tried the hog with cat or kitten biscuits? The hog might eat those.

Good luck and happy hog watching.
