Hi Bushsnuffler
It’s very difficult to tell from people’s videos how big hogs are. It might give a slightly better idea if we knew the diameter of the bowl the larger hog is eating from. Even then, not easy. The best way is to weigh the hoglet. But at this time of year they still have plenty of time to put on weight, which the small ones do quite quickly, so I would keep leaving the food out. Maybe put out another bowl with a slightly lower rim so that the little one can get at the food more easily. Being on the small side doesn’t really become a problem until later on in the year, especially if you are supplementary feeding.
