Hi pipkin

Lovely that you have a hog visitor there. I would play the food quantity ‘by ear’. If he finishes it all, maybe offer a bit more and if there’s lots left a bit less. But you wouldn’t want to be reducing amounts too much this time of year, as he is likely to go and hibernate soon. Occasionally one will decide not to hibernate, in which case just continue to feed him (and provide water, of course) – bearing in mind that the wild food won’t be so easy to come by in the middle of winter. A wild hog is unlikely to overeat on the supplementary food we offer.
